Does Jeter play the games in Boston?

Whether or not tonight's game happens, the Yankees' series in Boston have no impact upon the postseason berthings. The Yanx will not play on. The Cap'n is done as of Sunday.

Does he even play?

Precedents:

In 1960, Ted Williams played his last game at home in Fenway, famously going yard in his final at-bat. The Red Sox had a final series to play in da Bronx, but Ted didn't even make the trip.

In 2013, Mariano Rivera played his last game at da Stadium, traveled with the team to Houston, but did not enter a game (by his own wishes).

Jeter could do similar. Oh, he'll make the trip to collect his final parting gifts, sure. But does he actually tar his bat or pull on his glove? Or did he make his final appearance on Yankee soil, like Mo did?

    He just announced in a post game interview that he will. He sounded like he might not play shortstop or the whole game and might just play designated hitter and only a few at bats.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Jeter makes the trip but is in the ESPN broadcast booth for all games. That way, broadcasters and viewers can gush over his personal insights over the past 20 seasons. Plus there is minimal possibility of an off field "season/career" ending injury.

    I think this is his last game. It just wouldn't be right for him to play his last games in Boston. Also, he had an RBI double and it looks like the Yankees are going to win. Best to go out on a positive note.

    You know, I expect him to play - at shortstop. I think he wouldn't have it any other way.
