Well this is the least surprising news of all time. If you don't realize how influential Jeter has been in his time playing for the Yankee's you've probably been in a dooms day bunker since the 90s. I'm not the biggest Yankee's fan or baseball fan in general but even I know a player like Jeter comes around once in a life time. The guy was a hard working class act who had the intangables to make him one of the greatest Yankee's of all time. Watching him play was a sight to see. He wasn't the best player ever but no one left it all on the field like he did. Yankee's are currently in a rebuilding process while the players I grew up with are retiring so it'll be nice to see someone I remember watching very early in my life get the praise he deserves.
