Derek Jeter's farewell tour is heading into its final days and while everyone who loves baseball will miss the future hall of famer, there's at least one person who's had it with all the adulation he receives.

I am a Yankee's fan, but mostly, I love Derek Jeter. He has been one of the best representatives to wear the uniform. He's not just a fantastic baseball player, he's a good person, with integrity, heart and kindness for others. This is his last year to play for the Yankees and the world is saying it's goodbye, by tipping their hats to #2.

Derek Jeter announced through his Facebook page on Wednesday that 2014 would be his final season in Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees shortstop posted the following statement on his Facebook page.

Most everyone knows what a Yankee's fan I am and a fan of Derek Jeter in particular. Not just because he's a great baseball player but a good person too. But back to being a great baseball player, he hit a career homer today that puts him in the record books.

When Christian Lopez caught the home run that was Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit last week, he gave the historic ball to the Yankee's shortstop without asking for any money, even though it may have fetched over $100,000 on the open market. The taxman isn't being so generous with Lopez.

Derek Jeter is a New York Yankee.  I am a Yankee fan and especially a Derek Jeter fan.  So I can't wait for him to grab this milestone 3000th hit.  He's been on the disabled list for a few weeks but he's back and just a few hits away.
