Yanks open Jeter’s final series with win over Sox
Derek Jeter had already decided that he wanted his days carrying a fielding glove to be complete, intending to store the view from shortstop as a final Yankee Stadium memory, though he’ll make a few more trips to home plate this weekend out of respect. An emotionally drained Jeter arrived at Fenway Park with another request: a day off, something he has seldom sought in his two decades of big league service. With Jeter wearing a hooded sweatshirt on the bench, the Yankees opened his final weekend with a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox on Friday night.
