Jeter said that having his girls beside him is the most 'gratifying' thing.
“By far the most gratifying thing I’ve ever been a part of,” Derek said during a CBS This Morning appearance in February 2018. “Regardless of how your day went at work, when you get home and you see a smile on your daughter’s face, it makes it all worthwhile.”
Jeter continues to post adorable family pictures on social media.

To commemorate the occasion, all of Derek's daughters were by his side when he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Yankee Stadium in New York City. (Derek was originally inducted into the Hall of Fame in January 2020; however, the ceremony was postponed for two years as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.)
