Jeter trying to make amends after icon firings; Another Marlins record

A six-pack of Wednesday Marlins notes:

• After asking former president David Samson to fire four special assistants (Jack McKeon, Jeff Conine, Andre Dawson and Tony Perez), new Marlins owner Derek Jeter apparently wants to make amends.

Jack McKeon told me earlier this week that “Derek called last week and said he will call me sometime in the next month.”

McKeon said Jeter gave him no indication if he will offer McKeon a job.

But McKeon, 86, said: “I don’t think I want to retire.”

Jeffrey Loria had offered McKeon a chance to manage a game next September so he could surpass Connie Mack for oldest person to ever manage a big-league game.
