Derek Jeter accomplished a lot in his Hall of Fame career.

The legendary shortstop spent his entire 20-year career with the New York Yankees, winning five World Series titles, 14 All-Star nominations, a World Series MVP, five Gold Glove Awards and five Silver Slugger Awards, among many other accolades. Jeter's resume would make anyone green with envy, but there's one thing “The Captain” would like to add to the list – a Fall Classic against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“I wouldn’t change anything about my career except to be able to play in the Yankees-Dodgers World Series,” Jeter said before Game 1 of the 2024 Fall Classic between the Yankees and Dodgers in Los Angeles.

The 2024 World Series matchup marks the record 12th in which the two giants will compete for the Commissioner's Trophy – although the first since 1981. That was long before Jeter's time. He won five titles with the Yankees – 1996 against the Atlanta Braves, 1998 against the San Diego Padres, 1999 against the Braves, 2000 against the New York Mets and 2009 against the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2000, he was named World Series MVP.
