"I do wanna address something with Derek that I’ve never told you before" - Former New York Yankees teammates Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter clear the air during Yankees vs. Red Sox broadcast

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were a part of the recent New York Yankees versus Boston Red Sox matchup, and they shared a heartfelt moment. The two were teammates on the Yankees for 10 seasons, but did not always have the best relationship. While they were brilliant on the field, off the field their relationship left a lot to be desired.

Talkin' Yanks posted a video of the interaction to Twitter.

Alex Rodriguez was one of the best home run hitters of all time, ending his career in fourth on the all-time list. Derek Jeter was essentially an institution with the Yankees, and was the perfect leader. When they won the world Series together in 2009, they cemented their place in history.

Seeing them as friends once again enjoying friendly banter was amazing. ESPN posted this clip of a great prank that Rodriguez managed to pull on Jeter.
