It’s pretty obvious that the Yankees will retire Derek Jeter’s number this season. After what we saw last year with Mariano Rivera, we can figure that Jeter is in store for a day just like Mo got.
As soon as the captain announced his retirement, tickets for obvious milestone games, skyrocketed in price. Opening Day saw an increase. The last home game went through the roof. Even the last game of the season at Fenway Park got up around $250 for standing room tickets.
However, the most important day is one that is not set in stone yet. Derek Jeter Day will be the day the yankees immortalize Jeter’s number in monument park and thanks to last year’s Mariano Rivera Day, we can make a pretty good educated guess.
Judging by how the Yankees like to do things, I am putting my money on Sunday, September 21st against the Blue Jays. That day has seen a hike in ticket sales as well due to the fact that people like me figure that to be the day but tickets are still pretty affordable. There are many sites with tickets still available but my go to site is www.VIVIDSEATS.com. Click on that link to go right to the game on September 21st.
Good luck and I’ll see you at the ballpark.
