Sound the alarms, Derek Jeter is on Twitter! Jeter’s a tweeter!
That’s right, the former New York Yankees captain and brief Miami Marlins CEO has joined the social media platform, and his first tweet is very funny.
Before we get to that, I have to shout out his bio: “Sleep-deprived father to three amazing girls. HOF Class of 2020.”
I love that! Family first, then baseball!
But yes, let’s get to his first tweet: On Tuesday, The Captain sent one out quote-tweeting someone who said that Jeter had no excuse not to have a Twitter account.
That tweet? It’s from December of 2014. Guess someone found it for him … or he kept some receipts? Here you go:
Here's the tweet

Derek Jeter saw a tweet from 8 years ago and took it personally. https://t.co/JDLLrUZ6Gn
