Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees lived one of the most beautiful and perfect love stories that have ever existed in Major League Baseball. So much so that they achieved an insurmountable hegemony and their professionalism also led him to be nicknamed “Captain America” and now a member of the Hall of Fame.
Now, the city that never sleeps and the fans of the most successful team in this sport, will have the opportunity to share with their historic player. All this after it was announced that the “Mulos del Bronx” announced a tribute at Yankee Stadium for next September 9 in a match against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Said tribute will be called “Night of Tribute to the Induction into the Derek Jeter Hall of Fame” and in it will be awarded to the first 40,000 people a replica of the “Captain America” Hall of Fame plaque. In addition, the same player will be in charge of throwing the first throw prior to the match.
Jeter, is considered the last great idol of the most successful and historic organization in the Majors, which is why they will take advantage of the series against the Tampa Bay Rays to reunite those two loves that marked a milestone in this sport.
Likewise, Jeter has not been able to celebrate his immortality in this sport in style due to the outbreak of COVID. Now, he will have the opportunity to share this achievement with his people and in the city that saw him grow up and saw him retire as the most historic on and off the field.
Finally, the former shortstop played a total of 20 seasons in Major League Baseball, all in the uniform of the New York Yankees. Additionally, he won five World Series rings, five Gold Gloves, five Silver Sluggers, one World Series MVP and one All-Star Game MVP. Not forgetting that he was Rookie of the Year and attended 14 All-Star Games.
