With an unwavering desire to reach perfection, Captain Clutch Derek Jeter became one of the best ever to step foot on the diamond. With his incredible baseball career, Jeter got many perks as well, including being the face of many brands and occasionally appearing on the silver screen. Through his immense hard work and love for the game, Jeter, in his twenty years wearing the pinstripes, earned $265 million. With this salary, Derek Jeter became one of the top-earning players in the league.

Hence, during his career playing ball, he never had any significant issues regarding his finances. During the regular season, no one could sway Jeter away from his goal. But in the off-season, he was the man who liked to party. And in one of those parties, famous TV host Jimmy Fallon was also present. In a recent video, Fallon revealed how, all of a sudden, an idea popped into his mind, which turned out to be brutal for him. A night out that was supposed to be fun was about to turn bad.
