Report: Derek Jeter engaged to supermodel Hannah Davis

Why does New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter always feel the need to steal the New York Mets’ thunder? During Game 1 of the World Series, reports leaked that Jeter is engaged to long-time girlfriend Hannah Davis, according to the New York Daily News. 

Way to interrupt the World Series, Jetes! We thought everyone agreed not to leak big baseball news until after the World Series had concluded. 

At the same time, maybe this isn’t baseball news. Jeter is retired now, and hasn’t been connected to the Yankees all that much this season. He did show up at Yankee Stadium to celebrate former teammate Bernie Williams, but was not present at the team’s home opener and told reporters he didn’t miss playing baseball “at all.”

And, hey, can you blame him? After spending 20 years playing the most important position on the biggest stage in the country, he’s earned himself a break. Now that Jeter no longer has playing obligations, he can work on cultivating a strong relationship with his significant other. What a concept!

Jeter’s love life has long been a source of news among the New York media, and that will definitely continue with this announcement. Hopefully, once Jeter and Davis tie the knot, that will go away and he’ll be able to happily enjoy life out of the spotlight as a married man.

Good for Jeter, we say. He ought to be able to finally enjoy his private life. We just wish the news didn’t come as the Mets were playing in Game 1 of the World Series. Let the Mets have their moment, Jeter!
