Anthony Volpe takes photo with Derek Jeter at World Series – NBC 6 South Florida

Prior to the Instagram-worthy moment, Volpe sat down with Jeter and the FOX broadcast crew for an on-field postgame interview. Jeter asked Volpe how it felt to hit a World Series grand slam, and he responded with a very Jeter-ian answer.

"The win has hit me, nothing else has hit me yet," Volpe said.

"I like it," Jeter responded.

Volpe had a busy night on the basepaths, and his dirt-stained uniform was evidence of that. He had a baserunning blunder in the second inning after misreading a double off the wall by Alex Verdugo and failing to score from second - though he ultimately scored on a fielder's choice. He later manufactured an insurance run by stretching a single into a double, stealing third and beating the throw home on a fielder's choice attempt.

The home crowd showed appreciation for his efforts by chanting his name during the top of the ninth inning.

It capped a storybook evening for the 23-year-old Volpe, a native New Yorker and lifelong Yankee fan.

"It means the world," Volpe said. "The Yankees and the organization and growing up watching these guys [Jeter and Alex Rodriguez], it had such a big impact on my life, my relationships, my relationship with my parents, my sister, everyone. The memories watching them, we still talk about it. I think that's what makes the Yankees the Yankees, and this city and these fans, everything about it. There is nothing like it."

He now has a picture with Jeter to commemorate the win. It will be the latest photo of Volpe circulating on social media during the World Series, joining a picture of him as a kid at the Yankees' 2009 championship parade.

"Well one, you should have been in school instead of being at that parade," Jeter joked. "But right now, just think about it, man, you're a few wins away. Keep it going. You got a lot of kids in the New York-New Jersey area that want to grow up and be you. So, congratulations, man."
