“The Captain” looks to answer that question. The seven-part docs-series, directed by three-time Emmy winner — and Bronx native — Randy Wilkins, will dig into the true details about what went down during Jeter’s 20-year tenure with the Bronx Bombers.
The series looks to be all-encompassing, detailing everything from Jeter’s upbringing to his Hall-of-Fame career to his failed ownership of the Miami Marlins and his journey into fatherhood. Similar to “The Last Dance”, which profiled Michael Jordan and the Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, “The Captain” will blend present-day interviews with archival footage in an attempt to retell the story of the Yanks of the ’90s.
Jeter has already spoken about aspects of the documentary, including his feud with A-Rod and the infamous rumor of providing gift baskets to women he was intimate with.
