Derek Jeter says heartfelt goodbye to Yogi Berra on Twitter account

Yogi Berra was one of the most beloved figures ever to put on a sports uniform and nobody admired or looked up to the legendary New York Yankees Hall of Famer more than Derek Jeter.

Promptly after the passing of Yogi early Wednesday morning, the tributes came pouring in — every one of them expressing sorrow at the loss of one of baseball's most lovable players and ambassadors for the game.

But it was Jeter's personal remembrance of his coach, friend and idol that everyone was waiting for.

And late Wednesday morning, the Captain used his Turn 2 Foundation Twitter account to say goodbye to Yogi:

Derek Jeter on Yogi: To those who didn't know Yogi personally, he was one of the greatest baseball players and Yankees of all time. (1/5)

To the lucky ones who did, he was an even better person. To me, he was a dear friend and mentor. (2/5)

He will always be remembered for his success on the the field... (3/5)

...but I believe his finest quality was how he treated everyone with sincerity and kindness. (4/5)

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. http://t.co/5SxsLNFJLh (5/5)

Two of the truest Yankees ever.

Jeter plans to own baseball team after playing days are over: Report

Anyone who thought Derek Jeter was going to just settle back in his St. Petersburg mansion after his playing days are over might want to prepare themselves to start calling him The Boss.

The Yankees’ captain — who has repeatedly claimed he has no aspirations to manage — said he would like to be an owner one day.

“That’s the next goal, buddy,” Jeter said at his 18th annual Turn 2 Foundation dinner at the Sheraton in Midtown Sunday night. “Calling the shots, not answering to someone, that’s what interests me.

“I’d like to think I would be good one.”

If Jeter does become an owner, don’t expect him to emulate his mentor George Steinbrenner — who ripped his players in the media and fired managers at the drop of a hat.

“I’d probably be a little bit more behind the scenes than the Boss,” he said. “But I learned a lot of things from the Boss.”

When asked if he would be interested in owning the Yankees if the Steinbrenner family ever decided to put the team up for sale, he joked, “You got some money for me?”

Jeter said he has no interest in managing because of the travel and time it demands.

“I want no part of that,” he said with a smirk. “Then I got to answer your questions every day.”

Right now Jeter is concentrating on the final games of his remarkable career and says he has yet to reach out to any teams or owners — but plans to after the season ends.

He added that he has no interest in owning a team in any other sport but baseball.

Derek Jeter auctioning lunch, game for charity with $90,000 starting price

Here's a nice  holiday gift for that Yankee fan in your family who's hard to please. How about lunch and a game with Derek Jeter — at the starting price of $90,000.

The Yankees beloved shortstop is putting himself up for auction to raise money for his Turn 2 Foundation, which promotes leadership and healthy lifestyles for low-income kids, The Associated Press reported.

Billed as “The Ultimate, Unprecedented Fan Experience: Spend Game Day with Derek Jeter,” it has fans hoping the 39-year-old shortstop's bum ankle heals soon.

Christie's is running an online auction through Dec. 17 that includes lunch for four with the Yankees most eligible bachelor — who is currently dating swimsuit model Hannah Davis.

The lucky winner will also snag four seats in Jeter's personal luxury suite and a swag bag containing an autographed, game-used Jeter glove, a signed printer’s proof of his 3,000th hit lithograph and three personalized, game-used Yankee Stadium bases from that day.

Opening bids start at $90,000 and all proceeds minus Christie's expenses go to Turn 2, which benefits kids in New York as well as in Jeter's native Michigan and his current hometown, Tampa, Fla.

Since 1996 Jeter's foundation has given out $18 million to help low-income kids.

Jeter said he hopes the auction will expand the foundation's outreach and help more youngsters "reach their full potential."
