Derek Jeter Trivia!
I recently saw the gatorade commercial involving the game saving heros and the snapshot showing Jeter shows Todd Jones on the mound. Being a Detroit fan I wasn’t happy but I was curious. Has Derek Jeter hit a home run (or Grand Slam) off Todd Jones when he pitched for Detroit. If someone could give me an answer or a link to where I could find the answer, I would appreciate it.

He’s 5 for 13 against him, but hasn’t homered off him.

Jeter had a postseason homer against the Tigers, but he hit it off Jamie Walker. He doesn’t have a single career grand slam off the Tigers – the closest he has come are 3-run shots off Justin Thompson and Willie Blair.
