Yankees will wear cap and uniform patches honoring Derek Jeter last three weeks of season: Report

It’s usually an honor reserved for players who have recently had their number retired, or been elected to the Hall of Fame, or died. But the Yankees are adding a little flair to celebrate  Derek Jeter's last games in pinstripes.

The team announced on Tuesday that players will wear a patch depicting Derek Jeter's final season logo on the left sleeve of their uniform and cap. The patch will be unveiled Sunday and worn by the entire team through the end of the 2014 season.

The Yankees will debut the logos on Derek Jeter Day, prior to Sunday's afternoon game against the Royals. Former teammates, family members and other guests are expected to take part in a special pregame ceremony highlighting Jeter's career. 

The Yankees also announced that Yankee Stadium team stores are currently selling a limited-edition New Era Derek Jeter collectible cap set, including three hats that celebrate Jeter's five World Series championships, his 3,000 hits milestone and his upcoming retirement.

 Only 2,014 units were created. So hop to it.
