From the moment Derek Jeter announced this would be his final season in Yankees pinstripes, you knew the farewell tour would be similar to the one Mariano Rivera experienced last season.
A rocking chair, commemorative guitar, sand sculpture, beach cruiser bicycles, custom fishing poles, and a mounted fire hose nozzle were among the items gifted to Rivera in 2013 by teams across Major League Baseball.
The New York Yankees are in Houston to begin the 2014 season with a three-game series against the Astros, who presented Rivera with a collage painting. For Jeter, the team decided on golf clubs, a cowboy hat, and cowboys boots complete with pinstripes.

We definitely need photos of Derek Jeter in those boots.
I’m sure we’ll keep you up-to-date on any other interesting items Jeter receives during the season.
