Jeter, 45, who was raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, made his Major League Baseball debut in 1995 and played his first full season in 1996.
It was in that rookie year that Jeter led his upstart team to a World Series title, its first since 1978 — the longest world championship drought in the franchise's storied history.
Led by Jeter, the Yankees won the World Series again in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009. He hung up his cleats after the 2014 season.
