This week it became official, and Derek Jeter will headline the 2020 Hall of Fame ballot. I could go on and on about why Derek Jeter should be a unanimous entrant on his first ballot (A lot of people should’ve been) but that’s not what this article is about. This article is about Jeter off the field.
I haven’t checked to see if this has been covered by Bronx Pinstripes before I was here, but I would imagine Scott and Andrew weren’t covering these types of stories in 2014.
In February of 2014, a comedian tweeted a thread about an experience he had on a date, when he ran into Derek Jeter. As tribute to one of the greatest stickmen of all time, Derek Sanderson Jeter, I present: “Once she’s with Jeter, she belongs to the streets bro”. A 25 act play…
Remind me to tell y'all about the time Derek Jeter left the club w/ a girl I came with. #that1stillhurts #ilikedher

I mean what are you suppose to do when Derek Jeter pushes up on a girl your dating at the club
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
He was so smooth about it tho. I didn't even know it happened until 20 mins after they left the club

I was just sitting at the table with my drink in my hand. And this was before the days of smart phones so I had to just stand there

Acting like everyone in the club didn't just see Jeter leave with my girl. I had to act like I wanted to stay and listen to music

ALONE

Hell, I was more mad she left cause she was my ride. They could have hooked up but at least given me a ride home
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
So I got my girl AND ride taken…
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
Worst part is I couldn't be mad at him for pulling her. Couldn't be mad at her for picking him over me. So I just was mad at myself
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I didn't watch baseball for like two years after that…
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
Needless to say I never talked to that girl ever again… Once she's with Jeter she belongs to the streets bro
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
@Rickonia that's what you get for bringing your girl to the club dummy
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I hate Jeter, the Yankees, pinstripes, and the number 2 #Jeter

PS I had to catch the bus back to my hotel cause my card got declined paying for the bottle service

YOU DON'T KNOW SADNESS UNTIL THE COCKTAIL WAITRESS COMES BACK W/ SECURITY TO ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER CREDIT CARD
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
And of course you have to act like you have another credit card, knowing good and well those credit cards are maxed too
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
So just to recap, I lost my girl to Jeter, I have no ride, and my credit card got declined
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I HAD TO CATCH THE BUS. YOU DON'T KNOW HUMBLE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE BUS AFTER THE CLUB
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I'm heated y'all. I must have repressed the memory but the more I think about it, the more mad I'm getting
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
And y'all know that out of town hook up is hard. I'd been putting in work for weeks. Met chick on MySpace and everything
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
Been working on that for min.. Put her in my Top 8 on Myspace, flew into town, took her to Bahama Breeze for Jeter to take her
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I had to spend the rest of the 'vacation' looking up old relatives acting like I came to visit them cause I needed somewhere to stay
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
I sleeping on my great aunt's next door neighbors floor while Jeter hitting home runs with my top 8
— Ricky Smith (@Rickonia) February 12, 2014
Just did get done paying off that credit card too…
