Derek Jeter is teaming up with former New York Yankee Hideki Matsui for a charity baseball game to support the survivors of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan - and hinted Wednesday he may someday get back into baseball as a team owner. Participating in the game at Tokyo Dome on Sunday will be a group of student baseball players from the Tohoku region that was devastated by the March 11, 2011, disaster that killed over 15,000 people. Jeter and Matsui will also put on a baseball clinic and take part in a home run derby. My ultimate dream is to one day own a team but that's in the future.'' Recalling his own experiences after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York, Jeter said he was hoping to help children in Japan who are still dealing with the aftermath of the disaster.
