Derek Jeter, I think I'm having a horrific game. I'm getting booed. It's my third strike out. And you know, when you strike out and you make the last out in baseball, like usually Jeter will bring out my glove. He knows I'm going through a hard time. And so he gives me his glove. And he says, "Look around. It's Wednesday afternoon. It's 100° and there's 54,000 people watching us play." Said, "How lucky are we?" And boom. That completely changed the paradigm of what I was thinking. Next at bat, I come up and hit a game-winning walk-off homerun. And he's waiting at home plate. He goes, "See, I told you."
