"All 20 seasons of his career spent with the Yankees; first in team history in hits, games played, at-bats, doubles, stolen bases; an 11-year captaincy; and 5 World Series titles—this is the great legacy Jeter leaves for the Yankees, and starting today, his No. 2 jersey will officially be retired!"
"With this, all single-digit jersey numbers for the New York Yankees are declared permanently retired, and Derek Jeter becomes the 22nd player in Yankees history to receive this honor."
"We have every reason to believe that once the five-year retirement requirement is met, this greatest star in Yankees history will be inducted into Cooperstown without suspense, and his statue will be sent into Monument Park, becoming a spiritual pillar for generations to come…"
In the commentator's eloquent narration, Jeter personally unveiled the plaque bearing his jersey number and delivered a touching speech.
