According to FOX Sports, Jeter said, ?The postseason and World Series, I think that?s pretty much a month there, but I?ll find ways to make sure that my family comes along, especially because my two oldest are getting to a point where I think they would enjoy being around it. I have more time on a day-to-day basis.??
