Hall of Famer Derek Jeter Makes Twitter Debut Tuesday Morning

Former Yankees legend Derek Jeter has made his way back to the big leagues… of social media.

The Hall of Fame shortstop joined Twitter on Tuesday morning, much to the delight of his fans and to the chagrin of his critics. His bio reads, “Sleep-deprived father to three amazing girls. HOF Class of 2020.”

Jeter’s first foray into tweeting came in epic fashion, as he responded to a tweet from eight years ago that suggested he make a Twitter account after his 2014 retirement.

“Looks like I’ve officially run out of excuses,” he wrote.
