Derek Jeter is at the plate. Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. Runner on second base. It’s Jeter’s last game in New York. The pitcher fires a strike towards the plate. Jeter, like he has so many times in his career, shoots a line-drive towards the right side of the diamond. The ball finds a hole. The throw to the plate is late. The Yankees win.
Jeter hits a walk-off single … in his final at-bat in the Bronx.
You can’t make this stuff up. You just can’t. Sometimes, sports are perfect.
Tonight, sports (and Derek Jeter) win.
