1. Derek Jeter is a sore loser. And a terrible person to make a bet with.

The former Yankees shortstop was always known for his ferocious competitiveness on the field, but he wasn't much different off of it, apparently.

Former teammate Phil Hughes shared this story about Jeter on the latest "Pardon My Take" podcast:

"He had this thing. He liked to do small little wagers every now and then. But he was such a competitor that if he lost, he would pay you pennies. So it would be like a hundred bucks on something stupid like a college football game that’s going on or something and if he lost, he would literally have a bag of pennines the next day.
