Legendary star Jit (Derek) Jeter returned to the Yankees home court on the 10th to reunite with his old club with his fans. This was a belated praise ceremony for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (because the epidemic was postponed). This is the first time that Jitter has appeared here since 2017 and has won warm welcome from fans. "I was born in New Jersey, grew up in Kalamazoo (Michigan) and now live in Miami . But in front of you, I really feel like home here. For many reasons, I know that you haven't seen me often in the past few years, but I hope I can see you often in the future."
career 5 World Series champion, Jitter symbolizes the beautiful era of the Yankees dynasty and is also the last Yankees captain. After retiring, he acquired a stake in Marlins in 2017 and served as CEO to run the team. Until he announced his departure at the end of February this year, he could finally meet Yankees fans again without any scruples. Jitter also mentioned the amazing performance of "Judge" Aaron Judge this season: "He hit 55 times, I can't understand it. Just hitting is difficult. It's really amazing that he can still hit and maintain the strike rate."

Jit publicly thanked Yankee boss Hal Steinbrenner. The audience gave him applause, and then he thanked the general manager Brian Cashman. The fans booed on the spot. Jit said with a smile: "It can be seen that you are ready to enter the playoffs." The kickoff guest of
is naturally Jit. Interestingly, he warned former president George W. Bush to stand on the pitching mound to kick off the ball so that he would not be booed. Bush Jr. really did as he did and scored a good goal. This time, Jit himself had to kick off the ball at close range in front of the pitching mound, and he also made a very wrong shot. He admitted that he had not practiced the ball after retirement.
