Here are your National Champion New York Yankees, all suited up for yesterday’s taping of Late Show with David Letterman. Only, they’ve ditched the pinstriped for sharkskin. And we know it’s trite and common to talk about how hot Derek Jeter is…

But camman. He is. To die for. And if you missed the actual interview (which we’ve posted ahead), your love for him will only grow deeper and more complicated, because he’s also funny. We had the pleasure of (name drop!) meeting him once, and even though his pants were belted a little too high, and his fade had sort of grown out, he was nothing short of the most charming, handsome man we have ever touched. It goes without saying we have still not washed our collective hands.

Ahead, photos of our other favorite Yankee, Andy Pettitte, along with Hideki Matsui, along with video footage of our beloved Yankees and Big Bird.

Here is pitcher Andy Pettitte dressed up like in his every day Halloween costume, “John Travolta in Grease.”

And a bonus shot of Hideki Matsui, who made a special appearance muted on the show because he still doesn’t really speak English. We’ll give him a pass on this one because he knows how to hit a ball with a stick, and he’s adorable:

We’re saddened to learn that our favorite Japanese baseball player might not return the team next season.

Here are highlights from the interview. Many a bonus point to Jeter for continuing to rib Letterman.
