Tom Brady and Derek Jeter are two of the most recognized faces in the world of sports. Both have reached the apex of their respective sports. Jeter retired from MLB after 20 seasons with the New York Yankees in 2014. In a candid conversation back in February 2016, Brady asked Jeter how he and his then-girlfriend, Hannah Davis, were doing during the former Yankees' retirement.
Jeter said:
“Retirement is good!”
Brady chimed in to say:

Looking at Jeter's 20 seasons in MLB, he won Rookie of the Year in the 1996 season. He was a five-time Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner. He also won five World Series, his last being in the 2009 - 2010 season.
Jeter finished his career with 3,465 hits, 260 home runs, and 1,311 RBIs, and he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020. Brady, 45, is still going strong in his 23rd season in the NFL.
