He went on to explain that last night's game was something to behold.  "The entire Yankees stadium was emotional.  I think everybody knew last night was going to be an emotional night.  Nobody's played for the Yankees as long as he has.  He is the winningest Yankee player of all time."
Scott talked about how great it was that during every batting practice he would run out his ground balls like it was a real game.  "Right to the very end he was doing that same thing" stated Singleton.
As important as this game was for the Yankees, unfortunately they did not make the playoffs this year.  Single ton said at the end of the game last night, in which all the Orioles players stuck around in the dugout to pay respect, Jeter made his way over to the dugout and congratulated the Orioles for winning the division.  The crowd started to boo and Jeter said they deserved it and suddenly the crowd stopped booing.  "That's how much he is respected."
