The Yankees put on a special day to honor their captain, Derek Jeter, who is retiring at the end of the year after a brilliant 20-season career. A 45-minute ceremony prior to today’s game features surprise appearances by Hall of Famer Cal Ripken and NBA great Michael Jordan. However, the Royals go on to shut out the Yanks, 2 – 0, to dim their already slim postseason chances even further. This may not the last tribute to Jeter, as the Yankees are expected to retire his number 2 and put up a plaque in his name in Monument Park before the season ends.
