Derek Jeter returned to Yankee Stadium on Saturday to attend his first Old Timers' Day – and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the team's 1998 World Series win
“When you’re playing, when you’re on the bench and you’re watching the game, and you could never see yourself being introduced at Old-Timers’, because you don’t ever think you’re going to get old, which — we are not old, right? We’re not old,” he said, per the outlet.
While he may have some issues with the event’s title, the five-time World Series winner was still in awe of the love he felt. “But, man, it’s a special feeling,” he said, per AP. “The fans, what makes this organization great is the respect that they have for the history.” Jeter also shared some advice with the current team, who, with a record of 70-72 after Saturday’s loss against the Milwaukee Brewers, is in danger of their first losing season since 1992.. “What I’ve told young players, even during my career when they come up, is it’s the same game. There’s just more people in the stands. I think sometimes you get up to this level, you try to do things a little bit differently. But you have to be yourself. Don’t try to do something that you’re not accustomed to.
