In his final game and final at-bat at Yankees Stadium, Derek Jeter drove in the game-winning run against the Orioles in an ending that really couldnโ€™t have been drawn up any better. The Captain finished his night going 2 for 5 which included an RBI double to deep left in the bottom of the first as the Yankees, who wonโ€™t be going to the postseason beat Baltimore 6-5 in front of a raucous and emotional Bronx crowd.

Last nightโ€™s walk-off for Jeter also marked the first time heโ€™s done it since 2007, which is kind of surprising.

And finally hereโ€™s the call from Yankees play-by-play man John Sterling:

Jeter isnโ€™t the greatest player in Major League history nor is he the greatest player in Yankee history. However thatโ€™s more a testament to the storied history of the Yankees organization and the unbelievable players to ever play for that team. Despite what you think of Jeter or the farewell tour this season you have to give a tip of the cap to one of the gameโ€™s great players which he undoutedly is. This is especially the case when you consider the world of sports weโ€™re currently living in were Leagues continually deal with drug issues, child abusers, women beaters and the hope that everything just blows over. It was nice to have one of those feel good stories for a change.
