Shortstop…Derek…Jeter…Numbah 2, of the New York Yankees, is celebrating his 46th birthday today.
Derek Jeter was supposed to be spending his 46th birthday on this beautiful summer Friday plotting out the intricacies of his Baseball Hall of Fame speech, dotting the i’s and remembering to thank the ancillary Yankees attendees like Mike Stanley and Ramiro Mendoza.
Instead, El Capitan’s induction ceremony in Cooperstown has been rightly postponed until 2021, and his primary worries these days regard the safe resumption of the Miami Marlins’ season, which has been foisted upon him by Rob Manfred.
