Former Yankees captain and shortstop Derek Jeter will throw out the first pitch for Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on Monday night, Major League Baseball announced.

Jeter, a Yankees legend who won five World Series with the Bronx Bombers, is currently a broadcaster for FOX Sports and is part of the pre- and post-game shows for the World Series.

The Yankees are probably hoping that some of Jeter’s championship history and experience will spread to the team, which is down in the Series 2-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Singer and actor Leslie Odom Jr., known for his role as Aaron Burr in the musical “Hamilton,” will perform the national anthem.

Actor and Broadway star Aaron Tveit, who starred in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” will perform “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch.

Game 3 will be played at Yankee Stadium with first pitch at 8:08 p.m. ET/5:08 p.m. PT.
