The No. 2 will never be worn by another member of the New York Yankees.
On Sunday, the franchise retired the jersey number that was worn by future Hall-of-Famer Derek Jeter for 20 years.
The ceremony took place just before the Yankees took on the visiting Houston Astros for game two of their doubleheader. As the evening's events unfolded, various players both past and present took to the internet to share their admiration and respect for the Captain.
Not just a teammate. Not just a friend. You are family. To me, to the Yankees organization, to all of the game of baseball.
