Derek Jeter's dream of owning a team comes true, ownership group purchases Marlins
On Friday evening, news broke that an ownership group led by former Yankees captain and future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter agreed to a deal to purchase the Miami Marlins from their beleaguered owner Jeffrey Loria. Even during his playing years, Jeter made no secret of his life long desire to own a Major League Baseball team. New York businessman Bruce Sherman will provide most of the funding for the purchase, but Jeter's name recognition alone should bode well for the Marlins organization as it seeks to grow in the Miami market.
