Yankees Magical Address: River Ave. & E 161st Street

The Yankees have enjoyed a myriad of compelling moments throughout their storied history. But there is one that stands out among the rest, and it has nothing to do with anything that occurred on the field. When the final days of Derek Jeter and his career in a Yankees uniform were dwindling down, he took a walk one day down River Avenue just outside Yankees Stadium.

Granted, the walk that Jeter took had staged elements attached to it because a film crew was on hand making a commercial for Gatorade. The ad became widely acclaimed and applauded as perfect for capturing the persona of Derek Jeter.
