隊長Derek Jeter在賽後發表了簡短的演說，並且代表球團對球迷表達敬意。
"For all of us up here, it's a huge honor to put this uniform on every day and come out here and play," he said. "And every member of this organization, past and present, has been calling this place home for 85 years. There's a lot of tradition, a lot of history, and a lot of memories. Now the great thing about memories is you're able to pass it along from generation to generation. And although things are going to change next year, we're going to move across the street, there are a few things with the New York Yankees that never change -- it's pride, it's tradition, and most of all, we have the greatest fans in the world."
"We're relying on you to take the memories from this stadium and add them to the new memories that come to the new Yankee Stadium, and continue to pass them on from generation to generation. On behalf of this entire organization, we want to take this moment to salute you, the greatest fans in the world."
"每天能穿上這套制服到這座球場打球，對站在這裡的每一個人而言都是莫大的光榮"，Jeter這麼說。"85年來，這個球隊的每一分子，不管是過去的還是現在的，都將這裡視為家。這裡有很多的傳統，很多歷史以及很多的回憶。而回憶最棒的是你可以將它一代一代的傳下去。雖然有些事情明年會有所改變，我們將搬到對街去，但是對紐約洋基隊而言，有些事情卻是永遠不變的 -- 榮耀，傳統，尤其是我們擁有世界上最棒的球迷。"
"因為有你們，我們才能從這座球場獲得這些回憶，再加上新的洋基球場所帶來的新回憶，將一代代的流傳。我代表整個球團在這個時刻向你們這些世界上最棒的球迷致謝。"
