Both are unique in their own ways. While Derek is reserved and prefers his life as private as possible, Sharlee is a little opposite in this manner. Hence, when her big brother turned 49, it was time for her to celebrate. Taking to her Instagram handle, Sharlee shared a bunch of photos of her son hanging out with his uncle Derek. However, she did post one of her with the baseball great. Besides the adorable pictures, the younger Jeter wrote, “Happy birthday to the best Brother and Uncle I could ever ask for. Derek, you have brought us on quite the ride. Through it all, you never changed. Your family and friends always came first. Your discipline and determination never wavered.”
