There was apparently more on the line for Derek Jeter in the 2000 World Series than the obvious.
"I moved to Manhattan when I was 21 years old," Jeter said this week during an interview with the YES Network. "I've joked about it before, but I really mean it: If we didn't win that World Series against the Mets, I think I would have moved out of the city."
Jeter, who retired after the 2014 season and fell one vote shy this past winter of being unanimously voted into the Hall of Fame, won five World Series titles with the Yankees. The first was in 1996 followed by the three in a row from 1998-2000. The final crown for Jeter _ and the last for the Yankees _ came in 2009.
