Looking to see Jeter and the Yankees in St. Louis? Be ready to act fast
ST. LOUIS -- If you want to see Derek Jeter on his farewell tour, you won't have to travel far. The New York Yankees will make their first visit to newest Busch Stadium on Memorial Day for the first of a three-game series.
Single-game tickets aren't on sale yet, but you can purchase all-inclusive single-game tickets ranging from $125-$300 on the team's website. Regular single-game tickets are expected to go on sale later this month or early March, the Cardinals said Thursday morning. The date will be announced on the team's website.
Jeter has played in newest Busch only once, at the 2009 All-Star Game. He went 0 for 2 but scored two of the AL's four runs, once after being hit by a pitch and once after reaching on a fielder's choice.
Jeter hasn't faced the Cardinals since 2005, when he went 5-for-13 in a three-game series at Busch II. His only other games against St. Louis came in 2003, when the Yankees swept three games in New York. Jeter went 3 for 13 in the series.
Jeter, 39, hit .190 while playing in only 17 games last season as he tried to come back from a broken left ankle. Early reports out of the Yankees' spring base in Tampa are that he appears to be moving much better this season. Jeter announced his retirement with a letter posted to fans on his Facebook page.
