Just in case Derek Jeter's magnificent career with the New York Yankees is ever on the verge of being forgotten, two councilwomen from the Bronx are teaming up to bestow another honor on the soon-to-be Hall of Fame shortstop.

Vanessa Gibson and Diana Ayala are preparing to introduce legislation to rename part of East 161st Street to Jeter Street, per AMNY.com's Alex Mitchell. The street passes right by Yankee Stadium and will intersect with another section of road that's been recently renamed Rivera Street.

That's one half of the Core Four taking up permanent residence on street signs outside the famed ballpark.
