Derek Jeter opens up about Alex Rodriguez rift in new doc: ‘Not a true friend’

Derek Jeter realized Alex Rodriguez was not a ‘true friend’ after the latter’s infamous interview with Esquire in 2001.

One day, Jeter and A-Rod would become teammates, but their intertwined saga began years before.

Star shortstops who were born about a year apart, Jeter and A-Rod forged a friendship

that was constantly covered both in the press and during games

whenever the Yankees played the Mariners in the mid-to-late 1990s.

The bromance ran so deep that they actually had sleepovers at each others’ homes when their teams played each other.
