The Empire State Building colors on Sunday have become the New York Yankees' blue and white pinstripes as Derek Jeter is paid tribute to.

As the Empire State Building colors were lit up, a scrolling of No. 2 underneath the antenna was also seen Sunday out of "Re2pect" for the Captain, according to Bleacher Report.

New York Yankees shortstop Jeter has had his fair share of tributes throughout the season while making his goodbyes around the nation, but probably one of the most impressive of the tributes was seen on Sunday when the Empire State Building colors lit up in the Yankees' pinstripes.

The Empire State Building colors often change for different reasons, and the pinstripes on Sunday was in honor of "The Captain" who made a final play in his career at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, reports Fan Sided.

The changing of the Empire State Building's colors wasn't the only respect paid to Jeter as he retired from is 20-year career. As strange as it sounds, Boston fans honored the legend despite being New York's biggest rival, according to Sporting News.

"I've been a part of some chants here at Fenway Park, but I don't know if any of them were good", Jeter told ABC.

"There were a lot of fans that told me that they came a long way to see these last games so I felt it was right to play. I played out of respect for this rivalry and the fans," he added.

Jeter made an infield single in the third inning of the Yankees' 9-5 win over the Red Sox, reports the New York Daily News.

CBS New York says that there is no need to worry if you missed the changing of the Empire State Building colors. On Monday night, the ESB will reportedly pay tribute to the five-time World Series champ once more.

Last week, Albany's tallest skyscraper outside New York City, the "Corning Tower", also lit up with Jeter's No. 2 during a final game at Yankee Stadium.

Prior to the Sunday game, Jeter was honored amongst other great Boston athletes, and was presented with his final set of gifts.

Several photos of the changing Empire State Building colors were shared by many on social media.
