TAMPA, Fla. -- Derek Jeter is set to return to Yankee Stadium on Sept. 9, when the Yankees are scheduled to honor the 2020 National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee with Derek Jeter Hall of Fame Induction Tribute Night. 

The former Yankees captain will throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch prior to New York’s 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Rays. It will mark Jeter’s first appearance in the Bronx since May 14, 2017, when his No. 2 uniform was retired and installed in Monument Park.

The first 40,000 guests in attendance will receive a replica of Jeter’s Hall of Fame plaque, courtesy of Bank of America.

Additionally, Jeter’s Cooperstown plaque will be displayed on the field prior to first pitch and then will be available for fans to view throughout the game in the New York Yankees Museum, which is located on the 200 Level of Yankee Stadium near Section 210.

The face of the franchise for a generation, Jeter played a franchise-record 20 seasons in pinstripes from 1995-2014, winning five World Series (1996, ‘98-2000, ’09) and appearing in two others (2001, ’03). 

A 14-time All-Star, 1996 AL Rookie of the Year and 2000 World Series MVP, Jeter was enshrined in Cooperstown on Sept. 8, 2021. He stepped down as the CEO of the Miami Marlins in February. 

Jeter retired as the Yankees’ all-time leader in hits (3,465), games played (2,747), doubles (544), stolen bases (358) and at-bats (11,195), tallying eight 200-hit seasons. His career hit total remains the sixth highest in Major League Baseball history.
