New York Yankees and Derek Jeter were the perfect matches. The two parties helped each other achieve a new high in Major League Baseball. With a career that spanned over two decades, Jeter played only for the Pinstripes.

His dedication to the game was so much that the former Yankee did not focus on getting settled in his personal life, until he retired in 2014. Not to forget that Jeter married his wife, Hannah Davis, only after retirement. Although Jeter had won everything in baseball, he would still feel jealous of his teammates in the Yankees clubhouse.
