Derek Jeter Gatorade Commercial

Baseball fan or not...Yankee fan or not...one has to admire the way he carried himself on and off the field. No controversy, arrests or scandals of any kind. It's hard to do for people in the spotlight, especially in the day of social media where everyone has a camera in their hand. Just a class act. Being a lifelong Yankee fan, thanks for the last 20 years. I have no doubt he will have a nice life in retirement

Red Sox fan through and through, but it doesn't get any better than Jeter, total class act and great competitor! The game is loosing something without him around, and my team is gaining something, sorry couldn't resist.

I hate the Yankees more than just about any professional sports team. Having said that, I have nothing but respect for #2.

It's pretty hard not to have respect for him, Yankee fan or not.

He is a great contribution to baseball, in conversations he often crosses party lines among those who would call the Yankees as rivalries.

Indeed. He is definitely a class act.

Great commercial for an awesome player! With the core 4 gone, there will be some mighty lean years ahead! It will be tough times for us Yankees fans.

Sox fan and must say I loved watching him play and the way he carried himself. He is the type of player that comes once in a great while and baseball will miss him dearly. Great guy and a great player.

Yankees fan here. Another sad season that will end even sadder when # 2 retires. See you in Cooperstown.
