Derek Jeter may have left behind his role with the baseball front office in the Miami Marlins, but baseball fans are reluctant to let the Captain move away from their hearts. With his newest foray into social media, he has created his Twitter account. And while his activity has yet to peak, a video of him reacting to fans’ responses on the micro-blogging site has left fans clamoring for more from ‘The Captain’. For some fans, even more than others.

Derek Jeter has always been a fan favorite at the Bronx. With a solid record at Yankee Stadium, Jeter was not only one of the Yankees’ most assured shortstops but also one of their most decorated. Having won 5 championships at the Bronx and retired as a career Yankee, it is but natural for fans to adore the iconic #2. However, one young fan may have just pushed the envelope, and Jeter’s wit just did not quit.

Derek Jeter is the freshest MLB entrant to the world of Twitter. With the star announcing his account, fans gave him a warm welcome.

Looking to the camera with a wry smile, Jeter responded as he always has. Cool, calm, and collected. Asked Jeter, “How old are you now Katy?”

Jeter’s signature humor shined through even oh his first appearance on Twitter. Even if only to cement his status as a fan favorite.
