Respect.

Major League Baseball legend Derek Jeter is on Twitter.

That’s right, the former New York Yankees captain and former Marlins CEO has joined the social media platform, and his first tweet is a homerun. Early this morning The Captain sent one out quote-tweeting someone who said that Jeter had no excuse not to have a Twitter account. That was his first ever tweet.

See below:

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

Jeter’s 2nd tweet wasn’t quite as funny, but he did show off his former mullet.

It’s my hair but it’s a shag… a Ralph Tresvant shag. https://t.co/M55MMeyBVk

Maybe Jeter hired the same guy who does all Tom Brady’s social Media??
