Derek Jeter hasn’t shown his face at spring training since 2014, before he played the last of his 20 seasons as a shortstop with the New York Yankees. He’ll end his hiatus Wednesday, though, when he shows up in street clothes to check out the Marlins — HIS Marlins — open camp in Jupiter.
“I’m sure it’ll be kind of different and odd,” Jeter said.
After four months of adjusting to his new corporate role as the CEO and part-owner of the Marlins, much of it spent sitting behind a desk and going around the community, shaking hands and posing for selfies, Jeter finally gets to return to the diamond and examine a creation of his own making.
