HBO Canada, a multiplex channel of Corus Entertainment’s Movie Central (Western Canada) and Astral’s The Movie Network (Eastern Canada) presents Derek Jeter 3K, a one-hour documentary from HBO Sports and Major League Baseball Productions. With only 27 others achieving this rare milestone in Major League Baseball, cameras follow Yankee’s captain Derek Jeter and the journey to his 3,000th hit. Derek Jeter 3K premieres Thursday, July 28 at 9 p.m. ET/MT on HBO Canada, day-and-date with HBO in the U.S.
With the cooperation of Jeter and the Yankees, Derek Jeter 3K offers exclusive access to Jeter both at and away from the ballpark, following him in his home and during rehabilitation from a calf injury. For the first time ever, a microphone is placed on the Yankee captain for two games, including his remarkable July 9 performance at Yankee Stadium when he became only the 28th player in MLB history to reach the 3,000 career hit milestone.
Narrated by Liev Schreiber, the documentary also features footage of Jeter from his early days with the Yankees through his five World Series Championships, and interviews with his family, friends, and Yankees executives, legends and teammates such as Hal Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, Joe Girardi, Joe Torre, Curtis Granderson, Dave Winfield, Minka Kelly, Billy Crystal and many more.
