Yankee Fans Cheery, Despite Missing the Playoffs

Although the Yankees fell short in reaching the Playoffs, their season ended in a rather positive way. Thursday night was bitter-sweet, as Derek Jeter played his final game in New York.

Even though he was emotional, he came up big and remained focused on the game. He hit an RBI double in the first inning, which nearly cleared the fence. He finished with three RBIs on the night. None were bigger than the one he had to close the game.

Jeter's game winning single was a terrific way to wrap up his career at home. The Yankees will finish their 2014 season with three games in Boston vs the Red Sox. Jeter said he will not be playing shortstop in any of those games, and will likely fill the role of the designated hitter.

Will he come up big again? Another dynamic performance--this time against his team's rival--would be something special for the player known as "The Face of the MLB."
