In Derek Jeter's new docuseries, "The Captain," he opened up about a heartwarming moment that made him cry for the first time in his entire life. It was when he dropped off his eldest daughter, Bella Raine, 4, at school.

Derek Jeter recalls waving goodbye to his daughter and telling her that he would be gone for a while.

"I tell her bye, I’m going to be gone for a little bit.”

As Bella cried profusely to see her parents drive off, Derek had tears in his own eyes.

Next, he shared how Hannah teased him during the entire incident.

Hannah said to Derek:

"Are you crying? You didn’t cry during your career. You didn’t cry when we got married. You didn’t cry when we get engaged and you’re crying while dropping your daughter off at school.”

Derek responded:

“No no no. It’s just tears.”

"Jeter never cried. Except for the first time he dropped his daughter off at school." - Talkin' Yanks

Dropping off Bella at school was an emotional episode for Jeter which caused a tidal surge of emotion.
