When Derek Jeter gave a shoutout to his wife Hannah Davis for standing by him after his retirement

Derek Jeter, the legendary New York Yankees star, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on September 8th in a deeply emotional ceremony. Jeter's family joined him to celebrate this historic accomplishment, including his wife, Hannah Jeter, and their two daughters, Bella Raine and Story Grey.

It was a rare public appearance for Bella and Story, as their parents have always prioritized their privacy and shielded them from the spotlight.

In his heartfelt address, Jeter expressed his gratitude and love for his family, especially his wife, by saying that she is the strongest person he knows.

"Hannah, you thought you married into retirement. It didn't take long for me to get back at it, I know you didn't envision that part. But we've been through so much over the past five years, and you're the strongest person I know, which I'm sure you're going to say is required when dealing with me."

He acknowledged that while his playing career was his first dream, his family has helped him make another dream come true. Addressing his wife, he playfully remarked on her expectation of a retirement-filled life, only for him to dive back into the world of baseball as the CEO and part-owner of the Miami Marlins.

"My girls, Hannah, Bella, and Story You know, this day puts an exclamation point on my playing career, which was my first dream,". "You know, through you all and with you all, I'm living another one." Said Derek
