Derek Jeter Hits Home Run on His First At-Bat Back

This is why they called him The Captain.

It looks like The Captain is really back. Derek Jeter started in his only Major League game of the season in July 11, where he suffered a quadriceps strain that sidelined him until today. He showed just why fans missed him when he took the plate against the Rays.

Jeter scored a home run at his first at-bat—on the first pitch—for the Yankees' first home run since the All-Star break. It looks like The Captain is trying to avenge his team's prior two losses against Tampa Bay.
