It’s usually an honor reserved for players who have recently had their number retired, or been elected to the Hall of Fame, or died. But the Yankees are adding a little flair to celebrate Derek Jeter's last games in pinstripes.
The team announced on Tuesday that players will wear a patch depicting Derek Jeter's final season logo on the left sleeve of their uniform and cap. The patch will be unveiled Sunday and worn by the entire team through the end of the 2014 season.

The Yankees will debut the logos on Derek Jeter Day, prior to Sunday's afternoon game against the Royals. Former teammates, family members and other guests are expected to take part in a special pregame ceremony highlighting Jeter's career.
