Michael Jordan has added the icing on the cake that was needed to this Derek Jeter week we’ve been enjoying. He wrote a thoughtful letter for Jeter.
When another player can recognize the greatness that another player has, that’s truly remarkable. The debate in regards to Michael Jordan being the greatness is one that will forever be discussed but this time, we’re talking about a great one noting another great and his name is Derek Jeter.
Jeter’s jersey will officially be retired tomorrow May 14 at Yankee Stadium and via The Player’s Tribune, Jordan wrote some thoughtful words for him.
A legacy is built by more than what is seen. It is not given, it is earned.
Beyond your 20 years in the Majors and an endless list of accolades, it was your love and respect for the game that set you apart.
Your pursuit of greatness on and off the field has set the standard for others to follow.
Much RE2PECT on cementing your legacy and having your No. 2 jersey retired.
The ceremony will take place tomorrow night, live at Yankee Stadium.
