Derek Jeter Claims He Doesn't Miss Baseball 'At All'

Retired New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter apparently has no regrets about walking away from Major League Baseball after an accomplished career that spanned 20 seasons. 

FoxSports.com's Jimmy Traina relayed what Jeter had to say during a radio interview Wednesday about his lack of desire to play and his ambivalence toward what's gone on at the dawn of the 2015 MLB campaign:

Jeter, 40, was the Yankees' longtime captain, a 14-time All-Star and a member of five World Series champions for the historic Bronx Bombers.

To play such a significant role for pro baseball's most recognizable franchise for as long as he did, there's little more Jeter could have hoped to accomplish. Fans will continue to adore him, and Jeter will likely continue enjoying the rest of his life away from the game with few regrets, if any at all.

Chris Cwik of Yahoo Sports' Big League Stew put it well: "With baseball behind him, Jeter can now enjoy a life filled with money, supermodels and pretty much whatever he wants. When you put it that way, it's hard to believe Jeter waited this long."

There's still a chance Jeter may become involved as a coach or in an alternative MLB role someday. At least for now, he seems perfectly content with his life away from baseball in this early stage of retirement.
