But it is a pity that his wife, Hannah, never saw the peak of Jeter. Notably, after winning the 2009 World Series, the Yankees are yet to win the prestigious title.

Per an old video roaming on YouTube, when reporters asked Hannah if she was a Yankees fan before meeting Jeter, she denied it. However, she confirmed that now the Yankees are her favorite MLB team.
