Derek Jeter's career is winding down and the New York Yankees shortstop has no regrets about his decision to retire after the season.

"I think you just realize it. I don't know if there's necessarily a magic formula that tells you it's time to retire," Jeter said. "I just felt like this was the right time for me. I've done it long enough, I look forward to doing other things, so I decided this was going to be my last year."

Jeter said that the multiple standing ovations he has received at road stadiums have created his most treasured memories of the season so far.

"That's been awesome. It's been overwhelming for me," Jeter said. "It's not something that I expected. The way the fans have treated me everywhere I've gone has been above and beyond my wildest dreams.

"Especially when we've gone to some of these stadiums where I'm used to being booed, to have them cheering for you -- that's definitely the memories that I'll take from this last season."
