Derek Jeter Walk-Off: Twitter Reacts To New York Yankees Captain Final Home Game With #FarewellCaptain!

As the New York Yankees went up against the Baltimore Orioles, this would end up being the final home game for the retiring Yankees Captain. Twitter was ablaze as Derek Jeter delivered the game-winning run with a walk-off single, receiving one final ovation from the Yankee Stadium crowd. 

As mentioned here, the baseball icon hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning. In front of a sold-out crowd, his record-breaking career came to a triumphant close. Though the #2 infielder has three more games against the Boston Red Sox, no one could have asked for a more fitting farewell.

As the crowd chanted his name, Jeter described the feeling the New York Times as, "An out-of-body experience is the best way to put it," 

Twitter was over with emotions as well as everyone watched the baseball shortstop drive in the game winner.
