I will start by saying that I'm not a Yankees fan at all.  I think saying that I "hate" the Yankees is a bit strong, but being a Minnesota Twins fan pretty much means I will always enjoy watching a Yankees loss.

That being said, I am also a fan of the game of baseball and I appreciate all that Derek Jeter has done and what he means to baseball and New York City.

That is why I couldn't help but be moved by this new Gatorade commercial featuring Derek Jeter and a perfect Frank Sinatra song choice.  Filmed in black and white, this shows what Derek means to the fans in New York as he closes out his career.

True, I'm not a Yankees fan but I certainly enjoyed watching Derek Jeter play and Major League Baseball was more interesting with him in it to root for or against.

Thanks for the memories, Derek.
