Derek Jeter jokes with Dodgers star Mookie Betts about 2020 World Series win in COVID-shortened season

Willie Colon, Danny Parkins, and Coach Eric Mangini break down the World Series as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays remain deadlocked in a thrilling matchup.

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.

"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.

MLB teams played a shortened, 60-game schedule in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The playoff field expanded from the traditional 12 teams to 16. After the early rounds, games were held at neutral sites.
