"The only time we've seen Jeter fail" - MLB fans left in splits over Derek Jeter's epic cartwheel fail as wife Hannah rubs it in
New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is one of the most successful MLB stars of all time. He has mesmerized his fans with his hitting prowess at the plate. However, the same can't be said about his gymnastics moves.
Jeter shared a video on Instagram that captured his failed attempts to perform a cartwheel. The post came along with a caption that read:
"Don’t judge. Let’s see you try and do a cartwheel!" Jeter wrote in the caption.
In the video, Jeter's wife Hannah was heard laughing and asking her husband to stop trying and stop embarrassing himself. However, after failing in initial attempts, she encouraged him to try once more, although he failed at it again.
"No stop it, embarassing yourself, stop it. Let's go, okay? Don't be afraid. Try it one more time," Hannah said.
Following Hannah's encouragement, Jeter looked at the camera and challenged his fans.
"It's a challange to all you people," Jeter said.
However, the former Yankees captain was unable to get it done even once in his three attempts.
Fans were left in splits after seeing Jeter's cartwheel failure. One fan commented in the post, mentioning that this was the first time they had seen the former shortstop fail.
"The only time we've seen Jeter fail," one fan said.
Being one of the best players to ever play the game, Jeter and his wife Hannah are one of the most loved MLB couples amongst the netizens.
The couple started dating in 2012 and got engaged in 2015. They tied the knot in July 2016. The Jeters are a one-big happy family with their three daughters, River Rose, Story Grey, and Bella Raine, and their son, Kaius Green.
