Even though Derek Jeter does not play baseball anymore, the former New York Yankees captain, ruled the game while he played. He was nothing but a blessing for the game of baseball. With a career that spanned over two decades, Jeter won everything.

Not many people might be able to do that, but back in the early 2000s, Jeter predicted how long he would play baseball. Although Jeter also did not had any idea that his prediction would come true, it was a spot-on prediction.

Derek Jeter accidentally predicted his future after the next 10 years

Back in 2004, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, and Serena Williams, sat for an interview. Apart from these three greats, several other athletes were there, too. When the renowned sportscaster, Ahmad Rashad, asked them, where they see themselves in the next ten years, Jeter predicted it correctly. 

Like Serena Williams, the Yankees captain said, he would be “Still playing.” And guess what? Fast forward to ten years later, in the 2014 season, Derek Jeter played his last MLB game and bid farewell to the sport.
