There can only be one Captain.

The Yankees are retiring Derek Jeter’s No. 2 and will unveil his Monument Park plaque on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2017.

The shortstop’s final season was in 2014. He retired with 3,465 career hits over 20 seasons, making him sixth on MLB’s all-time list. He’s only the 22nd player in Yankees history to have his number retired.

The shortstop joins teammates Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte, who all had their numbers retired last season. Jeter won five World Series (1996, ‘98, ‘99, 2000, ‘09) with those teammates.

Tickets for this game are not yet available for sale on an individual-game basis, but they are available as part of full-season ticket plans as well as a number of partial-season ticket plans. You can get more information here.
