Derek Jeter says he doesn’t miss playing baseball at all

Derek Jeter isn’t itching to get back on the baseball diamond. 

While the Yankees great has remained a part of the game as a broadcaster on Fox’s MLB coverage — and previously as a minority owner and CEO of the Marlins — he seemed to go out of his way on Tuesday to mention that he did not miss the game while on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.”

“I don’t miss playing the game. I don’t,” Jeter said after waxing poetic about playing in the World Series. “There hasn’t been a day since I retired where I’ve missed playing the game.” 

Jeter, of course, had a legendary baseball career for the Yankees, winning five World Series over his 20 big league seasons. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the 2020 class. 

He appeared in 14 MLB All-Star Games and won five Gold Glove Awards, while also being named World Series MVP in 2000 when the Yankees beat the Mets in the Subway Series. 

 “You dream of playing in the World Series,” Jeter said to Cowherd. “This is what the fun is about. When you’re in Little League, you sit down and you dream that you dreaming you’re up in a World Series. I was fortunate, I played in a lot of World Series. I played in seven World Series, so I’ve had a lot of at-bats. I just love it.”

If you don’t have cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream the World Series for free.

One of our favorite options is DIRECTV, which offers over 125 channels, including FOX, the MLB network, and ESPN unlimited. Plans start at $49.99/month, but you can start watching for free today with their 5-day free trial.

However, that’s when Jeter pivoted to mentioning he did not miss playing. 

Jeter has found a successful role in broadcasting, appearing as an analyst on Fox Sports’ baseball coverage since 2023. 

In a clip that aired during the Game 3 broadcast of the World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, Jeter cracked a joke with Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts and how many championship rings he has.
