Miami Marlins Press Conference
CEO of the Miami Marlins Derek Jeter speaks to the media to announce loanDepot as the exclusive naming rights partner for loanDepot park, formerly known as Marlins Park, on March 31, 2021 in Miami, Florida.

Yankee legend Derek Jeter was inducted into the first-ever GQ Sports Hall of Fame class yesterday alongside other sporting icons like Allen Iverson and Deion Sanders.

Years of blood, sweat, and toil on and off the field have again paid off for Jeter with this induction. A first of its kind, this induction surely sits a close second to his Baseball Hall of Fame induction in 2020.

To be posterized alongside basketball great Allen Iverson, former American footballer and MLB player Deion Sanders has got to be a distinguished accolade.

The trio will officially be inducted on February 11th in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Twitter and New York Yankee fans especially erupted at this news and passed on their love for their former captain and hero.

One fan described Derek Jeter as the most versatile HOFer ever.

While another commented on his ageless looks, saying he still looks hot as hell.

Proud of her captain, one fan reminded everyone of how elated she was at the news.

Another fan compared Jeter to the likes of Michael Jordan, calling him his generation's MJ.

Here are a few more of the best comments on the tweet.

Jeter coined the moment as historic and said that this will be a topic of discussion 30-40 years down the line.

“Look, I’m a Yankees historian,” Jeter said. “So this is historic. People will be talking about it 20, 30, 40 years from now. There’s only a short list of Yankees captains. I thought it was important for me because they thought it was important for me to be here.”

Jeter firmly believes that Judge is doing a “great job” under the spotlight in the Big Apple. He also trusts that Judge has the same winning mindset as himself to get the job done this season.
