Derek Jeter

And so it was great.

And I know that Derek Jeter says that he told him to throw it from the rubber and not from the front of the mound.

I mean, President Bush was planning all along to throw it from the rubber, 'cause then he would've considered any kind of a-

[laughs]

I'm using that as a symbol, but you're right.

Uh, and then when the Mets played their first game back at, uh, Shea Stadium, and then Mike Piazza hit the dramatic home run in the eighth inning for the Mets to win, uh, again, they are symbols, but they're really important symbols, and I think they were metaphors for the American spirit.

Yeah, a- absolutely, and I remember the 30 for 30 did that whole special on President Bush throwing that, that pitch, and Derek Jeter telling him exactly what you said, "Throw it from the actual rubber, but also don't bounce it or they'll boo you."

Right.

If you're a Vikings fan or a Bears fan and you're psyched that that happened, you're a fucking asshole.

You know, I never rooted for Derek Jeter to get hurt or any of that shit.

You wanna, you wanna play them when they, when...

You wanna beat them with their best.

Brielle and Sean were married on September ninth, twenty seventeen.

Just three days after her father's passing, Brielle wrote a letter to Derek Jeter detailing her family's deeply personal loss, explaining her dad would want her to realize her dream of meeting him.

When the letter reached Jeter, he invited her and her family to attend a game.

Brielle and Derek Jeter remain friends today.

That'll do it for this hour.

For Nicole Murray and Mike Gavin, I'm Gordon Deal.

It was just unbelievable.

The home runs by Tino, Brocious, Jeter.

Unbelievable series.

It's unfortunate that the dynasty came to an end that year.

You know, that would have been sort of anticlimactic.

But, yeah, that World Series, it's one of the few series that we lost that I go back and revisit highlights from.

Just because of those moments, you know, Brocious and Tino and Jeter.

And, you know, I was watching Giancarlo Stanton this morning.

And it's like rivalry and competition went out the window.

You know, Derek Jeter tells a story and someone that he said that was the number one question I was asked is when are you going to play again? And jeter's like why do we have to like let's just fold it like this isn't this is we're just baseball players this isn't important and then he said as he had he went and visited you know schools and fire departments and hospitals and he said you know people were begging for the sport to come back because it was their outlet and that's when he realized just how important you know the role they played in new york city and It's pretty crazy, man.

Mike, the Saints fan chiming in this morning.

We ain't going anywhere.

And I thought it was special.

And there's that famous line where Derek Jeter tells George Bush, you got to throw it from the mound.

You know, this is Yankee State.

And he's

wearing his bulletproof jacket, and he's getting his arm loose, and Derek Jeter comes up to him.

Hey, Prez, how are you doing? Good, Derek.

That's good luck tonight.

the mound.

And he's walking out, and he looks over his shoulder, and he says, don't bounce it, they'll boo you.

And so the pressure all of a sudden, I mean, I'm sitting there kind of fairly relaxed and feeling fairly loose, and the great Derek Jeter says, don't bounce it, they'll boo you, and all of a sudden the pressure mounted.
