This is the last day of the year, and the top two of my countdown. The previous entries have been the Yankees' triple play, Andy Pettitte's retirement, and Ichiro's 4,000th hit.
Number Two: Derek Jeter's Return From Injury
In a painful year for Derek Jeter, there was one bright spot. On July 28, after injuring his right quad in his first return from the DL on July 11, Jeter came back to play the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium. In the first pitch he saw, he swung and homered to right field. The ball traveled 380 feet. It was memorable to see Jeter come back from injury to play in his second game of the year and try to give the Yankees a jolt of energy.
This energy propelled the Yankees as they won the game 6-5 with Alfonso Soriano hitting a walk-off single. Unfortunately, Jeter only played in fifteen more games the entire season. His first home run turned out to be his last of the year.
Tell me in the comments, what were your favorite moments of the 2013 season?
