NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was in town for the third annual Derek Jeter Invitational Charity Golf Tournament.

Despite his busy schedule, Jeter made time to drop off supplies and share his experience with young baseball players at the Game Changers Baseball Camp at the Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium.

Organized by the Baha Mar Foundation in collaboration with the Bahamas Baseball Association, the event saw Baha Mar donate $10,000 to support youth baseball in the country.
