'The Captain' Celebrates the Career of Derek Jeter

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 18, 2022

Yankees shortstop and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was known as "The Captain," and "Mr. November," for his leadership on the field and in the clubhouse, and for his clutch hits in big moments. Notoriously tight-lipped with the media throughout his career, Jeter managed to remain one of the most beloved Yankees of all time. A new seven-part ESPN docuseries called, "The Captain" tells the story of his career, from his upbringing, his electric early years with the Yankees, his strained relationship with former friend and teammate Alex Rodriguez, and the career changing injury that affected his game forever. Director Randy Wilkins joins us to discuss the series, and getting Jeter to be candid on camera. "The Captain" premieres on ESPN tonight, after the Home Run Derby.
