It may be the Super Bowl in Glendale on Sunday, but a huge MLB announcement was made as Derek Jeter, former Yankees captain, will be joining Fox's MLB coverage next season.
Jeter walked onto the stage while the announcement was being made as he embraced his former teammate, Alex Rodriguez, and a good friend in former New York Giants star defensive lineman Michael Strahan. Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter speaks to the fans as he is honored by the New York Yankees before a game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on September 9, 2022, in the Bronx borough of New York City.
"I was on-set at the World Series in Philly and [David] Ortiz kept showing me his World Series ring. So, I figured I’d just join the team now so we can humble him a little bit," he said, laughing. But while baseball is on the horizon – pitchers and catchers report to spring training this week – it’s all about the final NFL game of the year on Sunday from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
During his career, Jeter was a 14-time All-Star over his 20 MLB seasons, slashing .310/.377/.440 in 2,747 regular-season games. He was a pillar of the famed Yankees’ dynasty of the late 1990s to early 2000s, collecting four World Series during that time before getting his fifth ring in 2009 – the Yankees’ last world championship.
