"The anticipation and exhilaration of Opening Day matched the thrill of cracking open a Slab Pack, making for a fitting theme," Jeter explained in a press release.
Lee, co-founder of Arena Club, revealed the organization took the community's feedback into account when envisioning their future.
"We've cultivated a thrilling community of collectors, and we've listened. We're exhilarated about what lies ahead. Collecting is all about 'the chase,' the pulse-pounding moment of discovery. This ad captures that essence perfectly," he said. "The heart of Arena Club remains consistent: delivering trust, excitement, and accessibility to the collector community."
Jeter won five World Series with the Yankees, holding down his position for the entire 20-year duration of his career. He ranks sixth on MLB's all-time hits list with 3,465 hits, captaining the Yankees from 2003 until his retirement in 2014.
