New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said goodbye to fans Thursday night in walkoff fashion – knocking in the game-winning run to beat the Baltimore Orioles.
The game capped a nearly two-decade career in New York for Jeter, who won five World Series during his time in pinstripes.
Here’s how eight brands said goodbye on Twitter on Thursday night. Tweet at @PRWeekUS to vote for the brand that won the real-time marketing game, Charmin, Staples, Jordan, or Tide.
