Years after his retirement, the New York Yankees legend, Derek Jeter, has become a hot topic in the baseball world. The reason? Well, it has not been even a week since ESPN released the first episode of Jeter’s documentary. And the series has already sparked some controversies.

Jeter and his fellow Yankee Alex Rodriguez have played together for a long time. And whenever there will be a discussion on Jeter’s life, A-Rod will automatically become a part of it. Because these two have shared the locker rooms for over ten years with the New York Yankees. During the 2010s era, Jeter and A-Rod were two of the biggest names in MLB.

Recently, after the release of the first episode of ‘The Captain,’ a former Red Sox star has taken a dig at ESPN over Jeter’s documentary. He even dragged A-Rod into this controversy by remembering an old infamous brawl.

Derek Jeter is still hurting the Boston Red Sox

The rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox is one of the fiercest rivalries in the sporting world. And the Derek Jeter documentary, once again, has heated things between the two sides.
