When Derek Jeter brought his high-flying rookie teammate down to earth with an epic prank 

Derek Jeter is a New York Yankees legend known for his dependability and professionalism during his famed MLB career. In 2016, mentioned that he also enjoyed having a good time in the clubhouse.

Jeter recalled a day when he played a joke on Marcus Thames, a call-up with the Yankees. Around 9/11, Jeter made the most of the circumstances. With all those police dogs sniffing about, Jeter had hidden something in Thames' bag.

"I got Marcus Thames pretty good two years ago. He hit a home run off Randy Johnson in his first major-league at-bat, so I had to get him. We have dogs come into our locker room to sniff for explosives, so I had people put something in his bag.

He continued:

The dogs started sniffing, and the cops pulled out this package. The kid was shaking—the cops took him away before we let him in on it."

Jeter was one of the greatest players of all time.

He was probably the most entertaining player in the Yankees clubhouse, and this video shows it.
