[REBROADCAST FROM JULY 18TH, 2022] Yankees shortstop and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was known as "The Captain," and "Mr. November," for his leadership on the field and in the clubhouse, and for his clutch hits in big moments. Notoriously tight-lipped with the media throughout his career, Jeter managed to remain one of the most beloved Yankees of all time. A new seven-part ESPN docuseries called, "The Captain" tells the story of his career, from his upbringing, his electric early years with the Yankees, his strained relationship with former friend and teammate Alex Rodriguez, and the career changing injury that affected his game forever. Director Randy Wilkins joins us to discuss the series, and getting Jeter to be candid on camera. "The Captain" is available to stream on ESPN + now.  This segment was selected by AOI producer Jordan Lauf for today's Producer Picks.
