Derek Jeter’s Ex-Teammate Bernie Williams Once Found a Cheeky Way to Poke Fun at the Hall of Famer’s Expense

Two Yankee Monument Park members, one outfielder and one shortstop, Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter, were popularly famous for their esteemed MLB career in the Pinstripes. Together, the two Yankees were teammates for 12 years and won four World Championship Rings together.

Naturally, after being renowned stars for so long, they developed a camaraderie that didn’t limit itself to the ballpark. Analogous to that, Bernie Williams spoke about a particular and peculiar instance of this friendship when he poked his captain while they watched music videos together.

New York Yankees: before and after Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter made his Yankee and MLB debut back in 1995. Since then, with Jeter, the Yankees won five World Championships, the most recent being in 2009. However, since Derek Jeter retired in 2014, the New York Yankees have looked like a completely different team, and not in a good way.

With Jeter’s retirement, the competitive, and always-fighting Yankee spirit disappeared. 2022, on the other hand, has looked like a new year. The resurgence of Aaron Judge has rekindled a new Yankee spirit, one that resonated with winning ways. Can this be the glorious Yankee year?
