Former Yankees captain and shortstop Derek Jeter will throw out the first pitch for Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on Monday night, Major League Baseball announced.
Jeter, a Yankees legend who won five World Series with the Bronx Bombers, is currently a broadcaster for FOX Sports and is part of the pre- and post-game shows for the World Series.
The Yankees are probably hoping that some of Jeter's championship history and experience will spread to the team, which is down in the Series 2-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
