He was such a competitor that if he lost he would pay you pennies - Former MLB pitcher Phil Hughes once revealed Yankees legend Derek Jeter s petty gambling habits

By Oindrila Chowdhury Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Hall of Famer Derek Jeter; Former MLB pitcher Philip Hughes (inset) In June 2018, on the sports podcast "Pardon My Take," former New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes spoke about Hall of Famer Derek Jeter's trivial gambling habits. Hughes said Jeter occasionally enjoyed placing small bets and revealed what Jeter would do if he lost them. Hughes and Jeter are former teammates. They played together from 2007-2013 with the New York Yankees and took home a World Series in 2009. On "Pardon My Take," Phil Hughes said: "He had this thing. He liked to do small little wagers every now and then. But he was such a competitor that if he lost, he would pay you pennies.” Hughes added: “So it would be like a hundred bucks on something stupid like a college football game that’s going on or something. And if he lost, he would literally have a bag of pennies the next day. "And it wasn’t like a dollar. It was a hundred bucks. It’s a lot of pennies. He probably had to send someone to a bank and do a special request to pay you in pennies.” NY Daily News Sports@NYDNSportsDerek Jeter a petty gambler as Yankee great would pay off clubhouse debts with pennies nydn.us/2LL5cbb199Derek Jeter a petty gambler as Yankee great would pay off clubhouse debts with pennies nydn.us/2LL5cbb https://t.co/yU8rBoy0BB "Derek Jeter a petty gambler as Yankee great would pay off clubhouse debts with pennies." - NY Daily News Sports Jeter often had an inclination toward betting.
