Derek Jeter misses parent-teacher conference due to MLB delay

Derek Jeter I had to do a check-up for this meeting.

After bad weather on Oct. 7 postponed the Detroit Tigers’ third ALDS game against the Seattle Mariners by more than two hours, the baseball player turned Fox Sports MLB studio analyst was forced to suspend his father’s duties.

“Sorry, it’s a rain delay,” Derek said on live television, after receiving a phone notification. “I had a meeting. A parent-teacher conference that I’m going to miss.”

The comments marked a rare moment for the retired New York Yankees star, who spends much of his life with his wife. Hannah Jeter and the children Bella Raine8, Gray story6, and Pink River3 years old and son Kaius Green2, off-air.

Although he has given occasional insight into how being a parent has changed him.

“A lot of people maybe thought I was emotionally retarded when I was acting,” Derek joked to E! News’ Francesca Amiker in September 2023. “That’s not the case, I just hid it well. But I think having kids brings out the softer side of everyone, and I couldn’t be happier.”
