 Derek first and foremost back at Yankee Stadium. How are you doing? I'm back. I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm busy I'm chasing three girls around but happy to be back How much have you been enjoying that aspect of your life post-playing it? You know what it has been enjoyable There's some other adjectives I could use too. It's been challenging to say the least but I tell you what there's nothing better You know when you look back It's almost a year since you gave your speech in Cooper's town You were inducted into the Hall of Fame when you reflect back on it. What comes to mind? It was a surreal experience. I mean you don't never know the emotions you're gonna feel But standing on that stage with with everyone that's helped you along the way in front of you And then you have all the greatest players who've ever played the game behind you It's can be intimidating and it's definitely without question One of the most special moments I've had in my career What can I say in 15 minutes that can cover my entire career? Do you want to say something meaningful impactful and memorable finally? I just said you know stop overthinking it man and just write down how you feel Fantastic speech you were able to address the crowd everyone saw it on TV But you never have been able to really address the fans here at Yankee Stadium You're gonna be able to do that tomorrow. What will your message be to them? Don't put pressure on me I mean look, I gotta try to figure out I guess something else to say but Look Yankee fans are the greatest fans in the world I've been very vocal about that throughout my career even post career and to get a chance To celebrate with them here at Yankee Stadium I know because of COVID circumstances last year was a little toned down a little bit But I'm really looking forward to I'm looking forward to I'm trying to Educate my girls and what Yankee Stadium means and I think my oldest has a little sense But she's never seen this many people in one place before so it'd be fun You talk about those fans so often you've called them the best multiple times What is it about Yankee fans that makes them the best they watch they pay attention? It means something to them. You know every game means armor in 98 We had basically won the division in April and we had a little bad streak there at the end of the year And I'm walking down the streets and people were yelling at me telling me we better turn it around Maybe 125 games that year, but they pay attention and they have high expectations I think that brings out the best in people something tells me when they're yelling for you tomorrow It's all going to be positive. Do you miss hearing your name chanted by these fans? Of course, I mean, there's nothing you can do. I don't care how much success you have post playing career There's nothing you can do where you have 50,000 people chanting your name. I really can't think of another job in the profession in the world. So Yeah, you miss it. I still hear it sometimes when I'm sleep You ever have a bad day and put on a little highlight reel and say, oh, okay. No, I haven't gotten to that point I was watching, you know, obviously during the documentary watching a lot of highlights, but I Don't think my wife really wants to sit down and watch highlights at me. That's fair. That's fair in doing that Documentary just what type of trip down memory lane was that for you? And were there even moments that you maybe forgot a little there are a lot of moments that I forgot You know, I tried to before I sat down. I mean, it's 30 plus hours and we sitting down talking and Before I would sit down I'd say hey look you got to try to refresh my memory on what we're talking about And there are a lot of things that you you tend to forget And that's not necessarily a good thing So it was an opportunity for me to look back on my career and go through some Like to go down memory lane and and just go back to some of the great things we were able to accomplish over a 20-year career
