MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins open a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night at Marlins Park. But it's the Marlins next series that has CEO Derek Jeter atypically off his game.
The Marlins are set play a quick two-game series against the Yankees, Jeter's former team, beginning Monday in the Bronx. Jeter says he will make the trip but will not attend either of the games, this despite being a fan-favorite over his illustrious 20-year career donning the pinstripes.
"I went to a spring training game when we played New York, but it would be an awkward situation for me to actually go to Yankee Stadium," Jeter said.
