Derek Jeter sets gold standard for Yankees' Baby Bombers

NEW YORK -- There it was, the final halo over Derek Jeter’s perfect playing career. On Saturday in the Bronx, it rained all day and night. On Sunday, there were off-and-on showers.

By the time, Derek Jeter’s No. 2 retirement ceremony began, the sky was perfect, and the sunlight shone through as Jeter took the field with his pregnant model wife, his loving parents, his sister, his nephew and his grandma, who turned him into a Yankee fan as a child.

On the huge video board in center, they played all the hits -- “The Flip,” “The Dive,” “The DJ3K homer,” and more.
