“It was a dream come true. Its the only thing I ever wanted to do,” Derek Jeter told Elite Sports NY when describing playing his entire career as shortstop for the New York Yankees.

On a Monday night at the Cipriani Wall Street in downtown Manhattan, the Yankees legend shared his feeling about playing an entire career for the Bronx Bombers while also sharing his recipe for October success.

Jeter was hosting his 23rd annual Foundation Gala in New York City.
