American sports broadcaster Michael Kay posted a throwback picture and transported baseball fans into the 90s era. Kay’s blast from a past photograph features New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter. The All-Star made his MLB debut in 1995, and the picture is from the following year.
In the photo, Kay and Jeter look cool while the broadcaster poses for a great picture. Along with the picture, Kay disclosed that the photograph was taken at the Macy’s Parade in 1996.

“Thanksgiving throwback. Hanging with the not-yet Captain at the Macy’s Parade in 1996.” – Michael Kay
The following season, Jeter was named the Yankees' starting shortstop, took home the Rookie of the Year Award, and assisted his club in defeating the Atlanta Braves in the 1996 World Series.
The photo has received several likes and comments from MLB fans. One user reminisced abouy the good, old times and wrote:
"It was a fun time back in Yankee Universe back then. Being a fan in my mid-teens it was quite the time to be alive.” Justin
Another user made a hilarious comparison and called Kay a detective with a “Kay Factor.”
"You look like an 80s detective whose partner was on to something but was told to leave it alone. Now, framed by dirty cops. With the Chief handcuffed and the mayor looking for a scapegoat. You decide to go undercover to clear his name. This is The Kay Factor." – Lord Darkstar
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, as mentioned by Kay, is held annually by Macy's in New York City. The parade, which debuted in 1924, is tied for the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the US with America's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit.
On Thanksgiving Day, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Manhattan hosts a three-hour parade that ends outside Macy's Herald Square.
"Here’s the whole pic from the Thanksgiving post." – Michael Kay
The parade has been broadcast nationwide on NBC since 1953. Macy's employees, as well as their friends and family, all give them time to work at the parade.
