Brielle Saracini McGuire lost her father in 9/11. Derek Jeter invited her to Yankee Stadium and the two remained in touch over the years. McGuire was diagnosed with cancer twice and Jeter gave her encouragement. 21 years later, while in the process of producing celebratory messages to appear in the documentary series “The Captain,” American Family Insurance, Elite Media and the directing team of Jams and Bash, brought McGuire to the set where she was reunited with Jeter. The resulting, touching behind-the-scenes video was posted online on both American Family and ESPN social channels.
