How You Can Meet Me

So big day today! I'm not just talking about the start of our four-game stint with the Red Sox (which is huge), but it's also a big day here on Weplay too. I just heard that the official contest where the winner gets to meet me is now up and running.
http://www.weplay.com/meet-derek-jeter-contest
Are you kidding? The winner of the contest gets to come to New York and hang out with me? At a Yankees game? With his or her family? It's more like being STUCK with me! I guess they couldn't find someone better.
No in all honesty, knowing that fans and Weplay members are going to be entering for a chance to meet me, that's flattering.
I really do appreciate it, that people would enjoy the opportunity to meet you. So thanks, everyone. Hope you've entered already. I know that when I was younger, if there was a contest to meet any athlete, I would have definitely jumped at a chance to meet Dave Winfield. He was my favorite player growing up. So yeah, it easily would have been him.
But there was obviously no Weplay when I was growing up, though I wish there was. It's a great idea and I think people are going to really, really enjoy it. Aren't you having fun already?
Alright, back to baseball for now, but good luck to everyone out there and I'm looking forward to meeting the winner.
