Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter knows all too well the feeling of celebrating on the baseball diamond after clinching a World Series title.
The New York Yankees legend and MLB on FOX analyst spoke with Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts ahead of Game 5 of the 2025 World Series.
Jeter asked Betts, who won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox before joining Los Angeles, about the total number of championship rings he’s earned.
“How many rings you got?” Jeter asked.
“Three,” Betts responded.
“Two and a half?” Jeter quipped as Betts laughed. Jeter then clarified, “I’m just playing. Dodgers fans, I’m playing. It’s a joke amongst friends, I’m just joking.”
Jeter won five World Series rings during his storied career as “The Captain” of the Yankees. After winning last year’s World Series, Betts hopes to soon be just one ring shy of Jeter’s total.
The Toronto Blue Jays took a 3-2 series lead after defeating the Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 Wednesday night.
The series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday.
A win on Friday would secure the Blue Jays’ third World Series title and the franchise’s first championship since 1993.
But a Dodgers win in Game 6 would force a decisive Game 7, and keep Los Angeles’ back-to-back championship hopes alive.
