GAME. BLOUSES.
O, Captain! My captain!
For New York Yankees fans, the former “Captain” is returning to the Bronx, New York, this weekend to receive a commemorative plaque from the organization he spent 20 seasons with and to see his famous No. 2 jersey retired.
Derek Jeter, owner of The Players’ Tribune and potential future owner of the Miami Marlins, was the 1996 American League Rookie of the Year, a 14-time All-Star, five-time Gold Glove winner and the franchise’s all-time leader in hits, doubles, stolen bases and games played. He helped the Yankees win five World Series from 1995 to 2014.
