The Yankees are probably hoping that some of Jeter’s championship history and experience will spread to the team, which is down in the Series 2-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Singer and actor Leslie Odom Jr., known for his role as Aaron Burr in the musical “Hamilton,” will perform the national anthem.
Actor and Broadway star Aaron Tveit, who starred in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” will perform “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch.
Game 3 will be played at Yankee Stadium with first pitch at 8:08 p.m. ET/5:08 p.m. PT.
