Derek Jeter visited Yankee Stadium on Friday night, but it wasn't to watch a few innings. Instead, the 49-year-old former shortstop for the New York Yankees made an unexpected appearance at the Hip Hop 50 Live concert, which honored five decades of the innovative music genre. During DJ Kid Capri's set, Jeter unexpectedly entered the stage and startled the audience. The MLB player took the step to scream and acclaim from the audience.

After a quick handshake and embrace, Jeter and Kid Capri parted ways so the rapper could continue performing. Thousands of people attended the event that featured legendary hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg, Run-DMC, Eve, Lil Wayne, and Nas.
