Derek Jeter accepts ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (Video)

New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter became the latest celebrity athlete to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge issued to him by several celebrities, including Roger Clemens and actor Mickey Rourke, to raise money and spread awareness about ALS. As ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, Jeter used the opportunity to take a moment to acknowledge former Yankee captain.

To keep the chain going, Jeter nominated girlfriend Hannah Davis and NBA legend Michael Jordan for the challenge. We'll see if they take Jeter up on it.
