Michael Jordan penned a congratulatory letter to Derek Jeter that was published by The Players' Tribune on Saturday in advance of the Bronx Bomber's jersey retirement ceremony scheduled to take place Sunday evening.
The note reads as follows: "Derek, A legacy is built by more than what is seen. It is not given, it is earned. Beyond your 20 years in the majors and an endless list of accolades, it was your love and respect for the game that set you apart. Your pursuit of greatness on and off the field has set the standard for others to follow.
