    Derek Jeter throws out the first pitch for Game 3 of the 2024 World Series

    As the New York Yankees host their first World Series game since 2009, the team will have someone who was part of that last championship team throw out the first pitch.

    Derek Jeter, a five-time World Series champion and the Yankees’ all-time scoring leader, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Monday before the Yankees take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

    The Baseball Hall of Famer spent all 20 seasons of his big league career in the pinstripes and won his last World Series title with the franchise in 2009 when New York defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. In that series, Jeter went 11-for-27 – a batting average of .407 – with one RBI and five runs scored.

    Jeter was part of Fox’s 2024 World Series coverage as an analyst for the pregame and postgame shows alongside former teammate Alex Rodriguez, former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz and host Kevin Burkhardt.

    Also part of the pregame festivities will be rapper Fat Joe, who will perform a modified version of his hit songs “New York” and “All the Way Up” prior to kickoff, MLB announced. The performance follows Ice Cube’s rocking set prior to Game 2.

    Leslie Odom Jr., known for his role as Aaron Burr in the musical “Hamilton,” will perform the national anthem.

    Los Angeles enters Game 3 with a 2-0 series lead against the Yankees. Monday’s first pitch is scheduled for 8:08 PM ET.
