After years of waiting, the New York Yankees fans are finally enjoying a good year. Apart from the Yankees cruising in Major league baseball, their former captain Derek Jeter is also having a good time on the golf course.

Notably, Jeter has been playing in the ongoing American Family Insurance Championship. Even though the Yankees legend is not a professional golf player, he was impressive in his first-ever AmFam Championship on the University Ridge Golf Course.

It has been nearly five years since Jeter retired from baseball, but his fan following is still the same. Earlier on Saturday, when Jeter made his appearance in the AmFam Championship, he received a loud cheer from a young fan. And it was quite unbelievable for the Yankees’ legend.

Derek Jeter has probably been the only baseball player who has received love from rival fans. His humbleness and down-to-earth nature set him apart from others. When Jeter was playing on the golf course, something similar happened to him.
