He is one of the most successful baseball players and has multiple accolades against his name, including winning the World Series five times. The ex-Yankees star has found success in all his ventures since retirement. But he has still not tried his hands on broadcasting. Jeter is set to have his first test as a FOX studio crew for the London series slated for this week.

Jeter is prepared on being joined by his frenemy Alex Rodriguez and rival David Ortiz in the studio. Recently, the 2009 World Series Winner opened up on his new role.
