Derek Jeter made his Yankee Stadium exit in grand fashion Thursday night.
His walk-off hit that gave the Yankees a 6-5 win over the Orioles captured his flair for the dramatic to a tee for one final time in the Bronx.
As Jeter once again showed his affinity for being clutch, many athletes took notice, including some from Ohio's pro teams.
Here's how they gave props to the Yankee captain via social media:
Are you kidding me?! That just happened! #RE2PECT
