On Friday the former Oakland Athletics‘ first baseman and outfielder did what many players have been doing over the past couple of years. He told his story via The Player’s Tribune, a website where athletes can tell their own stories and make their own announcements.
In fact Hannah Jeter used the blog/site last week to announce that she and “The Captain,” also known as the great Derek Jeter, are expecting a baby girl.
Swisher’s piece on the blog wasn’t as exciting or happy as the Jeter’s happy announcement but he made it seem like one, the way only Nick Swisher could.
