GOOD Morning America’s Michael Strahan had New York Yankees fans delighted after a TV segment with the MLB franchise’s legends.
The New York Giants legend, 51, was part of the Fox Sports NFL Sunday segment that had him pitching to Yankees icons Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
The popular sports TV show turned the studio into a Home Run Derby battle.
Teddy Bradshaw was among the Fox Sports star personalities that were on the second floor and above the spectacle.
And FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer and Howie Long unveiled a “Hit it to the gap” frame of Strahan, which pointed to the Hall of Famer’s tooth gap.
Jeter was given the task of hitting whiffle balls thrown by Strahan.
After making contact with the first two pitches, the Hall of Famer shortstop swung and missed on the third as Strahan yelled out: “You can’t go out like that.”
The FOX stars collectively cheered in amazement as Jeter crushed the next pitch.
Rodriguez would be next and after a hit ball, the retired three-time MVP also swung and missed at a pitch.
Still, Yankees fans were still in joy over Jeter and Rodriguez’s appearances on the show — especially after New York missing the playoffs in 2023.
One commented: “Watching jeter and arod swing and miss at wiffle balls thrown by Michael Strahan is honestly more enjoyable than this Yankees season lol.”
Another added: “This Micheal Strahan vs Jeter and Arod on NFL Sunday on Fox has me dead!”
And a third posted: “Loving this Strahan segment.”
A fourth wrote: “Nothing like seeing Jeter and A-Rod together.”
Jeter and Rodriguez are FOX baseball analysts for the 2023 MLB playoffs.
They both were Yankees teammates from 2004-2014 and won a World Series in 2009.
Fellow Fox MLB analyst and Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz also joined in on the fun and mashed each of the three whiffle balls that went his way.
