TAMPA — Derek Jeter is set to be honored at Yankee Stadium once again.
Just over a month after Jeter stepped down as Marlins CEO and sold his stake in the team, the Yankees announced they will hold Derek Jeter Hall of Fame Induction Tribute Night on Sept. 9.
Derek Jeter ReutersJeter, who had his No. 2 retired by the Yankees in May 2017, will throw out the first pitch before the game against the Rays.
And the first 40,000 guests in attendance will receive a replica Jeter Hall of Fame plaque.
Jeter was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020, but the ceremony was delayed until last summer due to COVID protocols.
It will mark Jeter’s first time being honored in The Bronx since he became part of an ownership group that purchased the Marlins for $1.2 billion in August 2017.
