In his upcoming ESPN docuseries, Derek Jeter opened up about an on-field incident with former Yankees teammate David Wells.
As the Yankees captain, Derek Jeter tried to hold his teammates to a high standard.
The incident in question arose on Sept. 18, 1998 during a game between the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles. At the time, manager Joe Torre had begun to rest many of the regulars on the Yankees, who already owned a playoff spot and were on the cusp of breaking the American League single-season record for victories. As such, the skipper inserted inexperienced rookie Ricky Ledee into left field and shifted Chad Curtis to center field late in the contest.
“What I was so amazed by was how it was like a wall came up in that moment and Derek was immediately like, ‘That never happened,’” Olney said. “Derek did not want that story to interrupt what was going on with the Yankees, which was greatness.”With the help of his teammates, Jeter swiftly denied the accusations by asking several players on the spot if they had witnessed him challenging Wells to a fight. When the players answered no, Olney knew he had to look for another story.
