Derek Jeter is one of the very few athletes who balanced his professional and personal life in the most professional way. While he played the game, the Yankees legend always prioritized the game above anything else. But since he does not play the game anymore, Jeter prefers to give that priority to his family, especially to his daughters.

September 9 of this year will hold a special place for Jeter. Notably, the New York Yankees held ‘Derek Jeter Hall of Fame Induction Tribute Night’. Needless to say, it was important to him, and thus his family was present at Yankee Stadium, including all three of his daughters.

However, his daughters were not aware of the importance of the event. Therefore, the Hall of Famer had to bribe his girls to sit through the game.

What did Derek Jeter have to bribe his daughters?

Recently, Jeter sat down for an interview with TODAY. And while discussing several other things, at one point, Jeter detailed how he had to bribe his daughters to keep calm during his HOF Induction night at Yankee Stadium earlier this year.

Jeter promised to give ice cream to his daughters if they stay in their seats throughout the event. “I told them if they stay in their seats, I’d get them some ice cream afterwards,” Jeter said.

The bribe was serious enough for his eldest daughter, Bella. She wanted her father to announce to the public that she’d be getting ice cream all the while Jeter was giving a speech.
