New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is an avid follower of traditions. Be it pouring champagne on others after winning or having the same notable delicacy before his games, with a good dose of that delicacy and stubbornness, the former shortstop used to come into the ballparks and smash home runs. But ever since the Captain retired from the game, he hasn’t had that delicacy.

Aside from this, Jeter added he used to make it himself, as he would not let anyone else prepare it for him before going into the ballparks. Manning was, however, amused by that fact. Then both the legends went on to tie diapers and put on shoes for the dolls.

Since both the former athletes are fathers, their ability to tie diapers was not questioned. But it was a fun challenge to see who would do it fast. First, they had to tie the diapers to the dolls and then had to tie the knots of the shoes. And Jeter lost to Manning on tying the diaper by less than a second.

But the challenge was not yet done. After tying the knots, the athletes had to put together a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And this time, the former shortstop completed a good few seconds before the NFL’s former star quarterback.
