Derek Jeter's Gatorade farewell commercial is fan-tastic (Video)

As Derek Jeter plays the final homestand of his major league career this weekend, he took some time to make a Gatorade commercial which is absolutely fantastic. In the ad, Jeter gets out of a taxi cab in the Bronx just a few blocks from Yankee Stadium and walks the rest of the way, soaking in the atmosphere and interacting with fans along the way.

The fan reactions are priceless, and using the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" ties it all together beautifully. This is a must-watch not only if you are a Yankee fan, but also a baseball fan in general. Jeter will be missed.
