I am going to guess this video gets posted quite a few times, but I believe it captures the greatness of Derek Jeter at its most fundamental level. I have always said one of the greatest legacies anyone can have is that they inspired others to do good works. Athletes by their very nature are in a position to do such, as are actors, musicians, politicians, etc. Jeter is a great baseball player. But beyond his ability to catch, throw and hit, he has the ability to inspire others. That is a gift. Too many times we worship those who have great skills and talents, but dismiss a lack of character or integrity. That is why I will not get tired of the Derek Jeter tributes. That is why Brians Song (featuring Gale Sayers) is still one of my favorite movies. Our youth need to be inspired on a regular basis and as a parent you appreciate people like Jeter.
