Derek Jeter will pass on his first chance to be an enemy in The Bronx, and that continues what has been a good run, relatively speaking, for the Yankees icon.
Why should the Marlins’ CEO accompany his tanking club to this quick, two-game series against the Yankees? It would represent a pure ego trip, and while no one would dispute that Jeter possesses the self-importance to match his massive accomplishments, he’s not the type to derive pleasure from a class reunion, his prom-king status notwithstanding.
No, Jeter will best help the Marlins by focusing on his current job.
