Derek Jeter to Throw First Pitch at Game 3

Derek Jeter, the iconic former Yankees captain and Hall of Fame shortstop, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on Monday night. The Yankees, down 2-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, hope Jeter's presence will inspire a turnaround in their first home World Series game in 15 years. Jeter, now a broadcaster for FOX Sports, holds five World Series titles and a 2000 MVP honor, making him a symbol of Yankee excellence. The game will feature performances by Leslie Odom Jr. and Aaron Tveit, with the national anthem and 'God Bless America,' respectively. The series is broadcast on FOX and follows a 2-3-2 format, with the Dodgers holding home-field advantage due to their superior regular-season record. Paul O'Neill, another Yankees legend, will throw the first pitch for Game 4, as the Yankees seek to leverage their historic icons for a series comeback.
