About
Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 after a storied Yankees career with five World Series rings, Jeter signed a ceremonial one-day contract in early 2026 to retire officially with the team before ascending to co-owner under Hal Steinbrenner. From 2017 to 2022, he steered the Miami Marlins as CEO and minority owner, marking a historic milestone as MLB's first African-American CEO while reshaping operations in South Florida. Today, Jeter fuels growth at Arena Club—his sports card marketplace boasting an NBA tie-up with the San Antonio Spurs—and launches physical retail for Greatness Wins alongside partners Chris Riccobono and Misty Copeland. His Turn 2 Foundation has now distributed over $48 million to youth initiatives promoting healthy choices since 1996.
