What's It Feel Like?



What's it feel like to have 48,000 fans chanting your name?
What's it feel like after 22 years then play your last game?

What's it feel like to walk through New York City when everybody wants to shake your hand?
What's it feel like to pay $15,375 for a dugout seat and most of the game you stand?

What's it feel like to know you are a walk-in to the Baseball Hall of Fame?
What's it feel like when everybody wants you to sign your name?

What's it feel like when all of your opponents give you a salute?
What's it feel like when you and your coach never had a dispute?

What's it feel like to have Bob Shepherd announce your at-bat?
What's it feel like to leave the field and tip your hat?

What's it feel like when your opponents are glad you are retiring?
What's it feel like when your teammates refer to you as "inspiring"?

What's it feel like when even the commercials are about you?
What's it feel like when even Mother Nature comes through?

What's it feel like to have a ring on every finger?
What's it feel like to leave the stadium, pause, look back and linger?

What's it feel like to be Derek Jeter? 
The model of greatness. 
Thanks Derek.
