DEREK’S DAY

The ovations figure to be often, loud and long when Derek Jeter has his No. 2 jersey retired at Yankee Stadium. The ballpark will be packed when the Yankees pay tribute to their former captain and unveil his plaque in Monument Park. New York is hosting Houston in a doubleheader, and Jeter will throw out the first ball before the second game starts at night. Among those expected to attend the half-hour ceremony are the star shortstop’s other Core Four teammates – Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera.
