In the 1990s, Derek Jeter was dominating the baseball scene, and Michael Jordan was dominating the basketball scene. If anyone needs proof of that, just look at their winning ways. Jeter's New York Yankees had titles in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000, while Jordan's Chicago Bulls took home the NBA championship in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998.

These two legends knew how to win championships.

Before Jeter had his No.2 retired on Sunday, His Airness reached out to congratulate him on The Players' Tribune:

The last single digit number has officially been retired for the Yankees.

 

 

If future Yankees want a single-digit number, they're out of luck.
