The 2024 World Series has officially begun.
This has turned into one of the most highly-anticipated World Series in quite some time, mainly because it’s a battle of two historical MLB teams.
The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers might be the two biggest brands in the sport, making this matchup a PR goldmine.
Many pundits, analysts, and fans can’t stop talking about this series, including Derek Jeter, a longtime member of the Yankees.
Young fans might not remember Jeter’s impact on the game, but for older MLB fans, he is a legend, especially to the city of New York.
He has now shifted to a career in broadcasting, and he recently made a statement about his career according to FOX Sports: MLB on X.
“There is nothing I would change about my career except being able to play in a Yankees-Dodgers World Series,” Jeter said.

Jeter just wishes he could be a part of a series like this, as it is a unique experience.
These teams have faced off in the World Series before, but due to the long time between that meeting and this one, there’s an extra added weight to this series.
Something feels special about what’s about to go down, a palpable energy that most fans seem to sense.
Jeter recognizes that, and while he’s comfortable in front of a camera and with his new career as a commentator, there still seems to be a part of him that wishes he could step back on the field.
