In addition to his teammates on the New York Yankees bench, Jeter’s girlfriend of the last 2 years, Minka Kelly, was on hand as part of a standing ovation from the crowd during Saturday’s game against Tampa. Kelly, was in attendance, along with Jeter’s friends and family in a luxury box at the stadium for the historic moment.

Jeter’s 31 year-old girlfriend Kelly is an actress who is slated to star in a re-make of the Charlie’s Angels TV series on ABC.
