I’m a huge Yankees fan. It’s a fact. An inarguable one, actually. I mean, what 12-year-old girl gets Yankee tickets for her birthday? (If you couldn’t figure that one out, it would be me.) My most recent superfluous expenditure was my 100-dollars-a-pop July 9th tickets. Nevermind that my (BRAND-SPANKIN’-NEW) car broke down en-route to the game, I got to attend one of the greatest days of Derek Jeter’s career. Congrats on 3,000 Captain, and here’s five reasons everyone should love Derek Jeter.

1. The boy’s got talent. Derek Jeter has a laundry list of accomplishments, most of which would be lost on the non-baseball-lovers mind. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with the long list of cool stuff he’s done, but there’s quite enough of it.

2. He’s hot. I mean come on, anyone who disagrees might be legally blind. Okay, that was mean, but seriously. Hellooo bright blue eyes, dark skin and a smile that could feed all of the children in Africa. Well, I wish at least.

3. Charity. Charity, and more charity. Jeter’s known for being involved with numerous charitable organizations, and even founding his own, called Turn 2. I mean, Jeter even said, “I want to set up a foundation that will have a positive impact on kids. I want to help nurture dreams. I want to show kids there’s another way to go.” A man with a big heart. Hi, let’s get married.

4. Chivalry isn’t dead. I’ll bet you my next Yankee home game tickets (just kidding, I’d never risk losing them), that Jeter’s never spoken ill-ly of an ex. Or a rival. Or of pretty much anyone. He knows how to be a gentleman, and a real team player. Swoon.

5.  He’s a Yankee. And proud of it, “My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.” Okay, listen. Before all of you Red Sox fans google my home address, hear me out. Being a New York Yankee is about be respectable, having talent and being gracious to your opponents. The Captain (and there’s a reason he is the one), is the epitome of everything it means be a Yankee. Whether you love the team or not, you have to respect him for the respect he gives others. He’s a Yankee through and through.
