THE NEW YORK Yankees last night announced the team will start wearing a new badge from September 7 to honour captain Derek Jeter as he plays out the final season of his career.
It means that from September 7 – which will be known as Derek Jeter Day – Jeter will wear a badge on both his uniform and his hat honouring, well, himself.
While there’s no doubt the shortstop has been a loyal servant to the Yankees, this all seems a bit much.
