One year ago today, one of the greatest moments in Yankees history occurred. Derek Jeter, in what turned out to be his final at-bat at Yankee Stadium, slapped an opposite-field, walk off RBI single in the bottom of the 9th to spur his team to a 6-5 win against the Baltimore Orioles. A poetic ending such as this was only fitting for one of the greatest and classiest players of all-time.
We took to Twitter on the anniversary of Jeter's home finale and asked fans, using the hashtag #JeterWalkOff, what they remembered from that night and what that hit in particular meant to them.
Here's a smattering of the outpouring of responses we got:
As you can see, there is great passion for "The Captain" as well as an appreciation for how his final hit at home epitomized an era in Yankees lore. Keep the reactions coming by tagging us @BronxPinstripes and using the hashtag #JeterWalkOff
