If your Yankees-hating or Jeter-skepticism overwhelms your ability to appreciate Jeter’s game-winning, opposite-field, walk-off single in his final home game last night, you might consider re-examining your soul.

Sit back and watch this and allow yourself to be swept up in the moment. Come on. It’s good for you.

The most goosebumpy moment for me in that video is the call from the Orioles announcers. It comes at the 5:41 mark. Their unbridled enthusiasm even as Jeter deals their team a loss that will be replayed for decades is itself memorable.
