Former Yankees pitcher reveals what he told Derek Jeter after altercation
“Derek [Jeter] lost it in the sun or the lights,” Wells said. “It was just a routine fly. I think Giambi hit it, and it was just like ... I put my hands on my head like that and then the media just took that and ran with it.
“And then Derek, he comes on the mound, he goes, ‘We don’t play that crap around here.’ I’m like, ‘Get back to shortstop. I’ll tell you what’s going on.’”Had Wells been able to complete all 27 outs without allowing a hit, walk or error, he would have been the only pitcher in history to have two perfect games in one season.
All appears to be well between the two now as Wells reports that he gets along “real well” with The Captain. So much so, that he quipped on Jeter’s singing chops.. “He’d come into the clubhouse singing, and he couldn’t sing for crap.”
