“How I Met Your Mother” was one of the most popular sitcoms during its days on television. One thing that gave the show a different dimension was running gags.

Furthermore, it has set up a potential cameo appearance for Derek Jeter himself.

According to a Screen Rant article, How I Met Your Father has set “up a potential cameo for the retired Yankee Derek Jeter”. The article further said that one of the show’s single characters “expressed his admiration for Derek Jeter’s reported womanizing ways”.
