Derek Jeter finally joined the social media world Tuesday, creating Twitter and Instagram profiles. As of Tuesday evening, the former New York Yankees shortstop has amassed over 270,000 followers combined on both platforms. Jeter's Twitter account only has a few tweets at the time of this writing, but one of them was a quote retweet that poked fun at a tweet from 2014, where a user claimed he had no excuse not to have a profile.
Looks like I've officially run out of excuses. https://t.co/DQwmgjU9jW
