The post-Derby treat is here! When you watch Derek Jeter's documentary The Captain online, you see the first of seven chapters. Yes, this this is no mere film, The Captain stretches — much like the shortstop stopping a ball from getting to the outfield — across over a month of TV.
• Date — The Derek Jeter The Captain documentary series debuts today (Monday, July 18). Following episodes arrive on Thursdays.
• Time — 10 p.m. ET (after MLB All Star Home Run Derby)
• U.S. — Watch on ESPN via Sling or Fubo.TV or on ESPN Plus
• Watch anywhere — try ExpressVPN 100% risk free
The series — which Jeter originally wanted Spike Lee to direct — is going to bow over six weeks, with this week delivering two episodes. The first, of course, is well-timed with the MLB Home Run Derby 2022. The series will show how race played a role in Jeter's Midwestern childhood, as well as his journey to the majors. You'll also see newly-unearthed footage of Jeter getting drafted to the Yankees, and learn how he immediately became a star on the team.
The series will also cover Jeter's evolving relationship with fellow Yankee Alex Rodriguez, as well as explaining the "importance of loyalty and trust to Jeter." As you would expect, we also see Jeter during the epic Yankees/Red Sox rivalry.
The Captain isn't all about high notes, as attacks on Jeter's role in the team pop up when the Yanks are felled by "the most historic loss in baseball history." The later years of Jeter's Yankees career will be explored, and the series will touch upon his rocky time as a Miami Marlins owner.
