New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter made a cameo appearance in the 2010 action comedy “The Other Guys.” In one scene, a policeman pointed a gun at Jeter and warned him to stay still. However, Jeter did not pay attention to the warning and continued to advance toward the cop.
The cop ended up firing a bullet into Jeter's leg, much to the surprise of the Yankees great.
"You di*k! I'm Derek Jeter. You shot me,” he exclaimed.
For this reason, Mark Wahlberg's cop character is called "The Yankee Clipper.”
An even funnier scene occurred when, years later, Wahlberg and Jeter met at Nathan's on Coney Island. Jeter, who was dressed as a bum, was out on the streets as a result of the shooting that took place in the past.
Jeter is definitely one of the most hilarious players in Yankees history. He once dressed up as Alfonso Soriano’s wife and joined other Yankees wives for a fun 'Saturday Night Live' skit.
Jeter is an MLB legend. He was selected for 14 All-Star games, won five Gold Glove Awards, and five Silver Slugger Awards.
Yankees honor Derek Jeter on Hall of Fame induction
For the first time in five years, Jeter visited Yankee Stadium, where he received recognition for being inducted into the Hall of Fame two years prior.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Jeter spoke while his Hall of Fame plaque was on display in front of the pitcher's mound.
"I was born in New Jersey. I grew up in Kalamazoo. I live now down in Miami," he said near the end of his four-minute speech. "But right here in front of you, with you, is where I really feel like I'm at home."
In a 20-season career that ended in 2014, Jeter guided the Yankees to five World Series victories. He was chosen on 396 out of 397 ballots and entered the Cooperstown Hall of Fame.
"Great to be back home at Yankee Stadium! Thanks to everyone for making it such a special night for me and my family. The girls had a blast and finally got their ice cream." – Derek Jeter
The Yankees retired Jeter's No. 2 during a ceremony in May 2017.
