“Don’t Want to Broke My Leg Like You”: When Derek Jeter’s 4-Year-Old Daughter Left Him and Wife Hannah Jeter in Splits Before Massive Yankee Stadium Moment

Derek Jeter’s life has been a thrilling rollercoaster ride, complete with mind-boggling achievements as a legendary shortstop, leading the New York Yankees to glory, and eventually assuming the role of the team’s captain. But his biggest adventure to date has been his transition to fatherhood, where he’s now the light of his daughter’s livfe, replacing the entire world in his daughter’s hearts. 

As the baseball sensation retired from the game, he embraced the joys of fatherhood, relishing every moment spent with his beloved daughters. Last year, Derek’s heart probably swelled with pride as he took his little ones to the hallowed grounds of the Yankee Stadium, the place where he began his journey, to witness induction into the Hall of Fame. However, that very morning of the ceremony, Derek had an endearing conversation with his kids that will melt even the coldest hearts. 

Derek Jeter’s adorable moment with his daughter on the morning of his ceremony: 

As the Jeter family cruised the morning of the much-awaited Derek’s Hall of Fame ceremony, the retired shortstop engaged in some heartwarming conversation with his daughters. In a video shared by Derek on his Instagram last year, his two girls, Bella Raine, and Story Grey were chatting excitedly with their dad. Story uttered a heart-melting response to Derek’s question about going on the field. 

But first here’s how their parents touched upon the subject: 

“Guys, are you guys excited to go to Yankee Stadium?” Hannah asked the girls, to which Derek added, “Do you want to go on the field?… With the players?”

Story shyly admitted that she wasn’t a good baseball player and therefore didn’t want to go on the field. However, her concern for her dad’s injury history made her add that she didn’t want to break her leg as he did, in her own words, “Don’t want to broke my leg like you.”

Derek and Hannah couldn’t help but laugh at their little one’s precious response. They then assured her that she needn’t worry about any injuries. It also seems like Derek’s Hall of Fame ceremony was enjoyed by the Jeter clan with each other’s company over hot dogs and ice cream later that day. Isn’t that adorable?
