Today marks the date when New York Yankees‘ legend Derek Jeter made his MLB debut and began his legacy. Dealing with a big number of injuries that season, the Yankees needed players to cover spots and Jeter was brought up to fill in shortstop Tony Fernandez as he was dealing with an injury. May 29, 1995, Jeter was given the uniform number two and was penciled into the nine spot in the lineup.
Jeter would go 0-5 in his first Major League game and the Yankees would fall to the Seattle Mariners 8-7 in 12 innings.
