Tonight, we held a moment of silence for Dorothy โDotโ Connors, the grandmother of former Yankees Captain Derek Jeter, who passed away on Monday ๐
Dot will be remembered most for her love of her family and deep devotion to her faith. Derek and his sister Sharlee would spend their summer with Dot in New Jersey while growing up. It was during these summers that she would bring them to Yankee Stadium and Derek was inspired to become a Major League ballplayer.
The Yankees send their condolences to the Connors and Jeter families ๐
OTD in 2000, Derek Jeter went 3-for-3 in Atlanta and was named All-Star Game MVP.
Now, 25 years later, the Midsummer Classic returns to Atlantaโlive from Truist Park this Tuesday, July 15 on FOX.
