VIDEO: MLB pays tribute to Derek Jeter in promo featuring Mo'ne Davis
If you're of a certain age and a fan of baseball, there's a good chance you spent your childhood emulating Derek Jeter.
Whether it be his trademark jump-throw or batter's box routine, the New York Yankees shortstop will be remembered just as much for his signature play as his championships and gaudy hits total.
Major League Baseball honored his unique style Friday, posting a video tribute featuring Little League star Mo'ne Davis thanking the Yankees captain for 20 memorable seasons.

In another nice touch celebrating the future Hall of Famer, the Yankees used these special bases during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
