He wrote: “I can’t believe that’s been 30 years of the @jeterturn2 foundation. Another great event thank u for inviting us!!!”
Posada and Jeter are two of the most popular players in Yankees (and MLB history), so fans will likely enjoy seeing the post.
Here’s what people were saying in the comments:
Andruw Jones: “🫡
Tino Martinez: “30 years. Thank You Jeter Family. For all the work you put in to this and change people’s lives.”
@scottlauwe: “Back in the day we took y’all for granted and now I’m at a point where the only thing I can say is thank you.”
@yankeekid82: “Posada, Jeter my two favorite Yankees growing up! Miss you guys!”
@kroisen: “Jorge… you are my absolute favorite ball player and you are the reason my 8 year old son is a catcher! Love you and go Austin Wells!!!”

The Yankees have been unable to win a World Series since 2009 (when Posada was still the team’s catcher).
That said, they have still been one of the best teams nearly every season.
Right now, the Yankees are 29-19 in 48 games, which has them as the second-place team in the American League East.
