The winds of change are sweeping through MLB and it seems as though no one is immune to its effects. Whether it’s the introduction of new rules, rookies with fierce determination in their eyes, ready to change the landscape of the games, or the ascension of veteran stars to even greater heights, change is everywhere. Cooperstown resident Derek Jeter is a changemaker himself. It has been nearly a decade since the New York Yankees legend hung up his cleats, but he continues to shape the game in other ways.
He had been a player who redefined the Yankee dynasty and now he is back in the baseball world yet again, though this time he’s not on the field but rather behind the curtain. Jeter has joined Fox Sports as an analyst and his debut has been much anticipated. And now with a very special Opening Day message, the icon has also made it clear that he will be making his first appearance as a Fox Sports analyst very soon.
