Jeter honored before finale at Camden Yards
BALTIMORE (AP) Speaking before New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter played his final game at Camden Yards, Orioles manager Buck Showalter summed up Baltimore's feeling in one simple sentence: ''We're really excited he's retiring.''
The Orioles' going-away gifts to Jeter before Sunday night's game included a U.S. Navy captain's hat, a bushel of crabs, an oversized crab mallet with Jeter's No. 2 on it, a huge pin-striped cake and a $10,000 donation in Jeter's name to a charity.
The presentation took place minutes before New York and Baltimore wrapped up a four-game series.
