Derek Jeter had a noticeably prosperous and long MLB career that spanned over 20 seasons. As per popular knowledge, he spent his entire MLB tenure playing for the New York Yankees. During his active years on the baseball diamond, he saw many players join and leave the Yankees’ setup. Few of those teammates remained close acquaintances with Jeter, even beyond retirement. 

Former Yankees’ pitcher CC Sabathia is among the former teammates that still share a strong bond with Jeter. Not only are they still best allies, but their families also happen to be closely knit. Derek’s sister Sharlee, in particular, is often a common sight hanging around with Sabathia’s family. Recently, Sharlee got noticed among Sabathia’s family yet again, celebrating a special family occasion.
