BALTIMORE (AP) – Speaking before New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter played his final game at Camden Yards, Orioles manager Buck Showalter summed up Baltimore’s feeling in one simple sentence: ”We’re really excited he’s retiring.”
The Orioles’ going-away gifts to Jeter before Sunday night’s game included a U.S. Navy captain’s hat, a bushel of crabs, an oversized crab mallet with Jeter’s No. 2 on it, a huge pin-striped cake and a $10,000 donation in Jeter’s name to a charity.
The presentation took place minutes before New York and Baltimore wrapped up a four-game series.
