New York Yankees legends Derek Jeter and CC Sabathia were both major contributors to the team's success since the turn of the millennium. Moreover, both enjoy each other's company and are often spotted at various baseball events.

Recently, the two caught up at the inaugural Don’t Blink/Minority Baseball Prospects Futures Showcase at the Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium, Bahamas. The event was part of the festivities for the sixth annual Don’t Blink Home Run Derby in Paradise.

Apart from the former Yankee duo, other Major Leaguers, including Jasrado “Jazz” Chisholm Jr., coach Antoan Richardson and American icon Andrew Dawson, turned up for the youth baseball event.

The event was organized by the Bahamian duo of Todd Isaacs Jr. and Lucius Fox, who started the event in 2018 to raise awareness of baseball in the Bahamas. With the likes of Jeter and Sabathia joining in the event, they showcased their love for the sport and shared their wisdom with the youth.
