9/25/2014 – Derek Jeter’s Yankee Stadium Finale
Derek Jeter was looking to end his legendary career with a bang and capitalize in his final career Yankee Stadium game. Let’s just say he was able to accomplish that.
With a runner at second and one down in the bottom of the ninth, the stage was set for the 40-year-old to break a 5-5 tie and end his stadium career in a magical way. On the first pitch from Evan Meek, he promptly delivered a fairytale ending with a walk-off single to right field.

Between the expected torrent rain holding off, David Robertson blowing a save in the fashion that he did, and Jeter somehow coming up in the bottom of the ninth with a runner in scoring position, it showed that endings you truly cannot script do still exist.
In front of a packed house in the Bronx, the captain made a stamp on a career that will go down as one of the greatest in Yankee history.
