NEW YORK — Years after retiring from the Yankees, Derek Jeter wanted to take a big swing.
The Hall of Fame shortstop explained why he decided to reflect on his famously private MLB career through a new ESPN documentary series, “The Captain,” after the first episode premiered at New York City's Tribeca Festival.
“It started right around the Hall of Fame,” Jeter, who is in the baseball hall’s 2020 class, said onstage during a talk Sunday at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
