Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter knows all too well what it’s like to celebrate on the baseball diamond after winning a World Series title.
New York Yankees legend and MLB analyst on FOX spoke with Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts ahead of Game 5 of the 2025 World Series.
Jeter asked Betts, who won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox before joining Los Angeles, how many total championship rings he had.

“Three,” Bates replied.

“Two and a half?” Jeter quipped while Betts laughed. Jeter then explained, “I’m just playing. I’m playing, Dodgers fans. It’s a joke among friends, I’m just kidding.”
Jeter won five World Series rings during his career as the Yankees’ “captain.” After winning the World Series last year, Betts hopes to soon be just one ring away from Jeter’s total.
MLB teams played a shortened 60-game schedule in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The playoff field expanded from the traditional 12 teams to 16 teams. After the first rounds, matches were held at neutral sites.

The Toronto Blue Jays took a 3-2 lead after defeating the Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
The series returns to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday.
A win on Friday would secure the Blue Jays’ third World Series title and the franchise’s first since 1993.
But a Dodgers win in Game 6 would force a decisive Game 7, keeping Los Angeles’ back-to-back championship hopes alive.
