Ahead of his final playing days, Derek Jeter soaks in the atmosphere on a walk in the Bronx. This new Derek Jeter ad is making the rounds via YouTube, this one courtesy of Gatorade. And it’s just as good, if not better, than the mega-viral "RE2PECT" spot from earlier this season.
The retiring Yankees captain spends much of the 1:30 video walking to work, greeting wide-eyed fans en-route to Yankee Stadium. As Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” reaches a crescendo, Jeter nods, jogs out of the dugout and doffs his cap.
Cut to black.
Jeter is scheduled to play his final home game next Thursday in the Bronx, where the goose bumps will be tenfold. The finale of his legendary career will come Sunday, Sept. 28, against the Red Sox at Boston’s Fenway Park.
