WATCH: Derek Jeter chants take over Yankee Stadium after iconic introduction by Bob Sheppard's voice on Old Timers' Day

Derek Jeter stepped onto the Yankee Stadium field as if he had never left. The former Yankees captain received an epic reception from the crowd at the annual Old Timer's Day on Saturday. It was even more iconic as late great announcer Bob Sheppard's voice-over was played introducing the Hall of Famer.

The Yankees announced last month that this year's Old Timer's Day will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the 2009 World Series-winning roster. The 27th title in the franchise's history is also their last appearance in the Fall Classic. Many legends including Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, etc. attended the event.

All the retired players and manager Joe Torre were presented in front of the lively crowd. Jeter's presentation was preceded by legendary Yankees and New York Giants public address announcer Bob Sheppard's voice clip being played. As the 50-year-old made it onto the field, he was greeted by the popular 'Derek Jeter' chants.

After the event, Jeter, in an interview with YES Network, was asked about his experience of winning the championship and what it meant to him. Jeter spoke about how the Yankees rosters from yesteryears might have made winning look easy, but it was a challenge.

"To describe the feeling, I don't really know how to describe it because it is the ultimate goal. Winning is hard, I have said it before we made it look very very easy but it is challenging with different groups every year," Jeter said.

Derek Jeter asks pitchers to keep pitching to Aaron Judge

Aaron Judge's remarkable run of form has forced the opposition into deploying shrewd tactics against him. The Yankees slugger who is on pace to achieve 60 plus home runs for a second time in three years is being intentionally walked by pitchers to keep him from going deep.

Derek Jeter, while appreciating his prowess at the plate, initially suggested on air that he doesn't understand why pitchers keep pitching to him. On insistence from announcer Meredith Marakovits, that Aaron Boone, wouldn't want Jeter to be endorsing the idea, he changed his stance.

"Keep pitching to him," Jeter said.

Aaron Judge is leading the Yankees offense with 49 home runs this season, aiding the team's aspirations of replicating the 2009 roster's triumph.
