Family members and many close associates of Jeter have spoken up about the enigmatic personality in the docuseries. One segment captures Derek’s father Sanderson Charles Jeter’s comments on Derek’s 3000th career hit game. Even more especially, that achievement came on the Yankees’ home ground.?

Derek Jeter: The 3000th career hit occasion?

The playing career of Derek Jeter was rather cinematic. He was famous for his ability to win games out of no-hope situations. The prime reason why Derek got honorable nicknames like ‘Mr. November’ and ‘Captain Clutch’. Anyone who watched the game on ‘Derek Jeter Day’ remembers Derek’s heroics.

In his last game in the Yankee Stadium, Derek took his team to victory with a stylish walk-off run against the Baltimore Orioles. Somewhat similarly epic was the game where Derek got his 3,000th career hit. He went five for five in the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. With a double, three singles, and a gigantic home run, off the pitcher David Price, Derek accomplished the feat at Yankee Stadium.??

Talking about the achievement on ‘The Captain’, Derek said, “If I had known, it was going to hit a home run. I wish I could sit here and say, ‘yeah, you know I said that I was gonna hit a home run, trying to hit one. But it was a storybook script.”?
