The Houston Astros honored Derek Jeter before Wednesday's game at Minute Maid Field.

The Astros stepped out of their dugout in the first inning to lead the fans in a standing ovation as Jeter walked to the plate. Before the game they gave Jeter a pair of No. 2 Yankee cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, a set of golf club and lessons from Tiger Woods' former coach Butch Harmon.

"It was nice that they took the time to honor me, and it kind of caught me off guard when the Astros guys came out my first at bat," Jeter said. "It's kind of odd, the second game of the season. So that one caught me off guard. It was much appreciated."

Rogers Clemens and Andy Pettitte, former teammates of Jeter, were also part of the pregame festivities.
