Did anyone just catch that closeup of Jeter on YES? His eyes are as red as ever.
8th inning over. Here we go. let's see what happens
Jeter coming out for the 9th inning
Jeter taking infield grounders now
with scoreboard showing highlights of his career.
Crowd gives a roar as it appears Jeter will stay in for at least one batter in the 9th
Jones at the plate, Robertson on the mound, 1 out, runner on first and Jeter is at shortstop
That's a two-run homer for Jones, Yankees' lead cut to 5-4 now. 1 out in 9th.
In case you're wondering, if there is a bottom of the ninth, Jeter is due up 3rd
Girardi as stoic in the dugout as Jeter has been his whole career. This is Jeter's game to finish
And we've got a tied game. 5-5 as Robertson gives up another homer
Due up for the Yankees in the ninth: Pirela, Gardner, JETER
This is setting up for a big finish . . . provided Robertson doesn't give up another blast here.
And Robertson gets the third out . . . and about 50,000 people in the Bronx arent happy. But that will change shortly as Jeter is due up third.
David Robertson could be a cult hero in a few minutes, provided Jeter gets the game-winnner
Pirela singles. Gardner up, Jeter on deck
Gardner puts the sac bunt down. Jeter up. First base open. What does Buck do?
Jeter singles to right field and scores Richardson with the game-winner. CAPTAIN CLUTCH
Tino, Pettitte, Posada, Rivera all on the field
Jeter being hugged by half the Bronx right now
Gerald Williams hugs Jeter, who says something about him being "dressed up"
Jeter now squatting at shortstop
walking around the field waving to the crowd. He looks like he's emotional but doesn't quite know what to do. Who would?
Jeter told himself "Don't cry."
Jeter: "I dont know how I played this game."
jeter forgot his elbow guard for his first at-bat. "I was giving signs to Drew at second base and there was nobody on base. I was all messed up."
Jeter: "These last few weeks have gotten tougher and tougher."
Jeter doing his best to hold it all together here.
Jeter: "Most importantly, I'm gonna miss the fans. They're what made this special
Mariano: "That's a typical Derek Jeter night."
Mariano: "[Robertson] decided to blow the game to set it up for Derek." He was kidding
Sabathia and Gardner dump a Jeter-sponsored Gatorade bucket on Jeter. That was Jeter's first.
Yes, folks, that was a Jeterian swing to win the game in Jeterian fashion
The true beauty of this night: Derek Jeter looked just as excited to win this game with the big hit as he did with playoff winners.
