Derek Jeter's final game

Derek Jeter's historic and Hall of Fame worthy career is officially over. The New York Yankees captain exited Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox in the fhird inning following an RBI single, which scored Ichiro and gave New York a 3-0 lead.

Jeter will finish his career with 3,465 career hits, which ranks first in Yankees and sixth on the all-time hits. The RBI was No. 1.311, which ranks sixth in Yankees history. And his career batting average will forever read a remarkable .309.

Jeter, who was honored before the game in nice ceremony put on by the Red Sox, jogged off the field to a huge ovation and a "Derek Jeter" chant from soldout Fenway Park crowd. As he exited the field, he shared an embrace with nearly every Yankees' teammate.
