I’ve been waiting for this documentary for a long time, one of my childhood hero’s Derek Jeter got the “Last Dance” treatment with “The Captain”.

Got a chance to see how it all started in Kalamazoo and how Derek Sanderson Jeter went from top high school baseball player to being drafted sixth in the MLB draft, which is utterly fucking preposterous btw.

“Derek, it’s the Yankees!”

The Jeter family’s reaction to him getting drafted is amazing ❤️ #TheCaptain pic.twitter.com/IEdkDyGXlY

Watching him rise through the minors and making his way to the ‘95 team brought back some great memories, Donny baseball only getting one crack at the postseason will forever be one of the greatest travesties in sports.

"I'm a Yankee. I'll always be a Yankee. That's what I did. That's who I am." —@derekjeter #TheCaptain premieres tonight at 10 PM ET 🍿 pic.twitter.com/emp0Fa5RWA
