"50,000 people chanting your name...I still hear it sometimes when I'm sleep" - Derek Jeter relives his time with New York Yankees, gets nostalgic for the crazy fan following he enjoyed during his famed career

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is loved by his fans. The MLB All-Star had a pang of nostalgia and became emotional about the fervent support he received during his illustrious career. In an interview with “Yes Network,” he was asked if he missed being in the baseball park, Jeter said:

“I don’t care how much success you have post-playing career. There’s nothing you can do or have fifty thousand people chanting your name. I really can’t think of another job or another profession in the world, so yeah, you miss it. I still hear it, sometimes, when I’m asleep.”

Even after receiving criticism from fans on a few occasions, the shortstop has consistently complimented them and referred to them as the best.
