The former captain lent some advice to the struggling Volpe as the current Yankees enter the final weeks of the regular season before the playoffs begin next month.

“Hey look, it’s very hard to get to the major leagues. Once you get to the major leagues, it’s even harder to stay in the major leagues,” Jeter said Monday at a charity event for CC Sabathia’s “LegaCCy” foundation at The Museum of Natural History. “What every player strives for is consistency. Sometimes you have bumps in the road along the way. It’s just finding that groove. So everybody struggles.

“I remember coming in, struggling, getting booed at the Stadium. That’s just part of it. You just gotta keep at it. You gotta stay positive, you gotta keep working.”
