Australian baseball fans hit with cruel Derek Jeter April Fools’ joke
Derek Jeter has decided to come out of retirement and continue his baseball career in Australia.
APRIL FOOLS!
On Thursday evening, the Adelaide Bite of the Australian Baseball League tweeted a photo of Derek Jeter holding up one of their jerseys. The team claimed that Jeter has signed on to be a player/coach for the upcoming season.

Unfortunately for fans of the Bite, this was merely a cruel joke. Since April 1 came earlier for Australia than it did in the United States, it was well disguised here in America. The Yankees appreciated the humor:
@AdelaideBite @ABL good one

Jeter is a little too busy these days spending time with his beautiful fiancee, so it wouldn’t make much sense for him to revive his baseball career Down Under. It was a nice thought, however.
