This season, it’s not just about Mets versus Yankees in New York - it’s about David Wright versus Derek Jeter - and it’s personal. Since Delta is the official airline and proud sponsor of New York’s two beloved baseball teams, each time the The New York Yankees’ All-Star shortstop and New York Mets’ All-Star third baseman step up to the plate, they’ll be competing against each other for a big donation to their favorite charity.
Under the rules of our Delta’s Jeter/Wright Batting Challenge, the player who ends the season with the highest batting average (based on a minimum 400 at bats) wins $100,000 for his charity.
Learn more about Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation and David Wright’s David Wright Foundation.
Each Monday we’ll post the updated scoreboard here at the Delta blog so you can follow along and cheer on your favorite player’s charity. Let the games begin! Also - check out behind the scenes pics of our Sky 360 suite at Yankees Stadium.
Who’s charity will you be cheering for this week?
