Sunday was all about Derek Jeter as the 20-year veteran was honored with a pregame ceremony at Yankee Stadium.
Even though the team lost their game against the Kansas City Royals by a 2-0 margin, Jeter was still in high spirits after the game and provided a funny moment during the news conference that followed.
A few minutes into the presser, a reporter’s cellphone buzzed. It was on the desk right in front of him, so Jeter decided to answer it.
The phone belonged to the Bergen Record’s Tara Sullivan, and the caller on the other end was reportedly someone very close to her.
@MarlyRiveraESPN You captured my embarrassment perfectly. FYI, it was my husband who called.

“Yeah, she’s got to call you back, Buddy!”
