After spending 20 years with the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter redefined the idea of loyalty, competitiveness, and a spirited attitude. Following his retirement in 2014, Jeter made it to the Pinstripes Monument Park with a record-breaking Hall of Fame entry with a 99.75% majority.

After his retirement, the Yankee shortstop took a hiatus from baseball. Three years down the line, in 2017, Jeter announced his return to baseball and his desire to take up a managerial role. Consequently, in September 2017, Jeter struck a bargain with Bruce Sherman’s Private Capital Management and bid for a minimum stake in the National League’s Miami Marlins.

Jeter said, “I wanted to acquire a team that was close to home and it just so happened that Miami came up. So, I put together an ownership group and we purchased the team. It’s a new franchise with a checkered past. They have a history of they’ve won a few times and getting rid of everyone. We came in and made changes. I look at it as a challenge.”
