2013: Derek Jeter plays for the Yankees for the first time since breaking his ankle in Game 1 of the 2012 ALCS. Inserted as the DH, he singles on the first pitch he sees and comes in to score as the Yanks beat the Royals 8-4. Jeter comes back after only four rehabilitation outings in the minors, after two Yankees starters, center fielder Brett Gardner and DH Travis Hafner, are injured the previous day. However, Jeter leaves the game after the 5th inning with a tight quad muscle and will undergo an MRI.
