Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter watched from the Miami Marlins’ unexpected playoff run from a distance. First it was Chicago’s Wrigley Field for the best-of-3 wild card series with the Cubs and then Houston’s Minute Maid Park for a neutral-site, best-of-5 National League Division Series matchup with the Atlanta Braves, in which the Marlins were swept.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, one that shortened the 2020 regular season to 60 games and kept fans out of ballparks until the NL Championship Series and the World Series hosted at Arlington’s Globe Life Field, Sherman and Jeter were limited to suites while fans watched from their TVs.
