Surprising all MLB fans, Derek finally chose to be on social media and created accounts on both Twitter and Instagram.

"Looks like I’ve officially run out of excuses." - @ Derek Jeter
Derek's former fellow teammate C.C. Sabathia quickly followed him on Twitter, but he did not receive a follow back as he had hoped. When somebody close sends a follow request your way, you follow the person back. It's what good Twitter etiquette dictates.
Not just a teammate. Not just a friend. You are family. To me, to the Yankees organization, to all of the game of baseball. Thank you, No. 2 https://t.co/vHfqNrDZJy

Without wasting any time, Sabathia retweeted his grievance and wanted Jeter to take notice because Sabathia considers Jeter not just a teammate but family.
