As we all know by now, Tuesday marked the final All-Star game for New York Yankees’ shortstop Derek Jeter. And boy did it start with a bang. He made an amazing diving catch off Andrew McCutchen to start the first inning, then had a leadoff double on which he’d eventually score.

As the baseball world united in praise, one fan decided that it would be a great time to chirp Jeter. Turn up on your speakers and listen closely.
