Sunlight soaked the entire team in its heat when the New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter came for his last at-bat. Almost every team that the shortstop played against in 2014 had a top-notch farewell ceremony for the number 2. 

The captain played his last game at the Yankee stadium against the Baltimore Orioles, and he led the team to a win as well. But that game was not his last at-bat. He picked up the baseball bat for the last time in a game against the Yankees’ fiercest rival team, Boston Red Sox in Boston.

But like many other Jeter fans, the sitcom artist, Jerry Seinfeld, did not want the shortstop’s last at-bat anywhere else but the Yankee Stadium. And the stand-up comedian was pretty vocal about it as well. 

Seinfeld was not a Derek Jeter fan!

Considering himself a huge fan of baseball, Seinfeld was a great fan of the New York team, but from the AL division. But a fan of one team can like players from other teams as well. Just as Seinfeld did follow him enough to want him to have played his last game at the Yankee Stadium.

A day after Jeter’s last at-bat, TMZ approached the standup comedian and asked his views on things Jeter should do after retirement. 

“He should not have played in Boston. You don’t owe anybody anything,” the actor said.

The man did not owe anyone anything, but it would have been much better had he played his last game as a Yankee at Yankee Stadium. The shortstop was the last active baseball player to have appeared on the popular comedy show Seinfeld along with Bernie Williams. 

Did Jeter win the game at his last at-bat?

The baseball legend and Hall of Famer, Derek Jeter, ended his career at Fenway Park by tipping his helmet to the crowd and going into the dugout. And just like that, a 20-year-long career while wearing Pinstripes was over.

Red Sox being the fiercest rival of his team, Yankees had to win that game in honor of their captain. And they certainly did. The New York Yankees won over the Boston Red Sox by 9-5.
