Even the man upstairs isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to Derek Jeter as a New York Yankees icon. Sunday’s tribute to The Captain will now take place before the second leg of a doubleheader against the Astros, following yesterday’s rain out.
For those headed to the stadium to witness history, the dedication ceremony will begin no earlier than 6:35 p.m. If you have plans with mom and will be watching from the comfort of your own home, ESPN will provide the telecast.
Yankee fan or not, tonight’s tribute is one that shouldn’t be missed.
Jeter was the ‘Prince of New York’ during a time when the organization and the city needed one the most.
