    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 the last championship team throw out the first pitch.

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

    The Baseball Hall of Famer spent all 20 seasons of his big league career in the pinstripes, winning 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 .407 batting average – with one RBI and five runs scored.

    Jeter joined Fox’s coverage of the 2024 World Series as an analyst for the pregame and postgame shows, alongside his 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 an individual version of his hits “New York” and “All the Way Up” before kickoff, MLB announced. The performance follows Ice Cube’s rocking performance before Game 2.

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

    Los Angeles enters Game 3 with a 2-0 series lead against the Yankees. First pitch on Monday is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET.
