However, some people might not be glad about Jeter making his Twitter debut. Just a day after Jeter announced his arrival on Twitter, ace American sports radio personality Chris Russo, aka Mad Dog, did not seem to like this step by the Yankees legend. He even took a dig at Jeter for making his Twitter debut.

It might just be a mere coincidence that Derek Jeter made his first tweet on the same day he smashed his first hit in MLB, 27 years ago.

“Oh my god! No… It’s almost beneath him and he is on Twitter. Why? He is not going to say anything interesting,” Chris Russo said. “What do you think, you get these tremendous things statements from Derek Jeter? He is going to put himself out and knock Joe Torre or knock the Marlins or knock Stanton or knock the owner of Miami (Marlins), Bruce Sherman?”
