Joe Buck’s new show “Undeniable” debuted Wednesday on something called The Audience Network and on his premiere episode, he brought out a pretty heavy hitter.
Derek Sanderson Jeter.
Among the topics FOX’s lead baseball play-by-play announcer-turned-talk show host discussed with the legendary shortstop…his career with and subsequent retirement from the New York Yankees, his web venture, The Players’ Tribune and, for some reason, the rumors surrounding those infamous gift baskets Jeter used to (allegedly) give girls he slept with.
“(Jeter) was great. We covered a lot of ground, including rumors and all the other stuff that’s gone on. He actually brought up the whole gift basket thing himself,” Buck told Doug Gottlieb on Tuesday. “I played dumb and with a smile on my face I said ‘what’s that all about Derek’ and made him go through the rumor that he would give a gift basket (to) whoever he was with on their way out of the door or on their way out of his life.”
Naturally, the former Yankees captain had a response.
“You’d have to be dumb to believe it,” Jeter said right before joking about what items he’d put in the supposed gift basket. You know…should one ever exist.

While that’s not really a clear-cut confirmation or denial, I wouldn’t blame you if you opted not to get excited if your lady came home from New York with a baseball autographed by Jeter.
