We don't know for sure if Derek Jeter is going to play this weekend at Fenway Park to finish out his storied career, but we do know that the Red Sox plan to celebrate the Yankee captain's achievements on Sunday.
And we've got some details on one of the gifts the Yankee great will receive from his team's greatest rival that was made in a Brunswick, Maine clothing factory.
Jeter remained non-committal on his plans for the weekend following the Yankees 9-5 loss to the Orioles Wednesday night.
"We just lost, man," Jeter told reporters. "Respect the fact that we just lost, we are not going to the playoffs. I cant think about Boston right now. Right now I am disappointed, I cant tell you about Boston because I am not thinking about Boston."
Now that the Yankees have been eliminated from postseason play, New York manager Joe Girardi has hedged on his plan to pencil Jeter into the lineup for all remaining games.
"I will leave that up to [Jeter], very similar with what I did for Mo [Rivera]," Girardi said of Jeter's final days. "In my mind, I really thought Mo would want to play an inning in center field and it never happened. I will leave it up to Derek, I dont see why I would do it any different."
As far as honoring Jeter at Fenway this weekend, fans should expect the ceremony to be understated.
"It's going to be a one day ceremony, on Sunday," Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan show Thursday. "We hope he's going to play this weekend. I think it's likely that he will. I would describe it as low-key. It's more respect and admiration for him as a ballplayer. I don't think you'll see too many talking heads but there will be plenty of gestures of respect for him.
"In terms of tangible gifts for him, we're not giving him a red convertible or something like that. What he cares most about these days is his Turn 2 Foundation, and we intend to make a sizable contribution to that, and to give a little piece of Fenway Park to take with him along with some musical gestures."
One of the gifts the Red Sox will present to Jeter on Sunday will be a pair of Yankee-themed duck boots made by L.L. Bean. The boots are similar to those the Red Sox wore in the parade following their 2013 World Series win, except they are Yankee blue and the lining is made from a Yankee uniform.
