Saturday is also the 31-year anniversary from when Yankees legend Derek Jeter got his fist hit in the MLB.
During the YES Network pregame show, four-time Yankees All-Star Dellin Betances spoke about Jeter.
Betances: “In that clubhouse, people thought he was like Michael Jordan… The attention he got in the clubhouse was phenomenal… Something that I will always remember about Derek Jeter, is just the way he treated all the players. He was always great.”
