Yankees legend Derek Jeter makes crucial life message hilarious in speech to Michigan graduates

Derek Jeter delivered the commencement speech at the University of Michigan Saturday and spoke about the importance of fighting through failure.

The New York Yankees legend would’ve played baseball at Michigan, the state he called home in Kalamazoo, if he didn’t turn pro right away as a first-round pick in 1992. But he did attend classes at the university and has always showed his fandom for its teams over the years.
