Derek Jeter back as Yankees honor '98 team at Old-Timers' Day

NEW YORK -- Back at Yankee Stadium and hearing the cheers at age 49, Derek Jeter had some advice for the team he led to five titles.

"I'm working on rebranding the name Old-Timers' to something else," he said. "When you're playing, when you're on the bench and you're watching the game, and you could never see yourself being introduced at Old-Timers', because you don't ever think you're going to get old, which -- we are not old, right? We're not old. Older. But, man, it's a special feeling. The fans, what makes this organization great is the respect that they have for the history.
