Derek Jeter announced today that the 2014 will be his final season in Major League Baseball. Jeter posted a 15-paragraph note on Facebook announcing that this season will be his last. This news comes as a surprise to many as Jeter has been playing at a consistently high level before he missed most of the 2013 season with an ankle injury.
Jeter, a 13-time All-Star, has won five World Series rings and was the Series’ most valuable player against the Mets in 2000. Jeter has also posted a career batting average of .312 with 3,316 hits, which leads the Yankees.
After watching Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte retire at the end of the 2013 season, Jeter is set to follow their footsteps and become the final core-four member to retire.
