The Tigers will honor retiring New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter before the two teams play at Comerica Park on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

It's the middle contest of a three-game series. Technically, Jeter's last scheduled opportunity to play professionally in his home state will be the following day — barring, of course, another meeting between the two teams in the playoffs. The Tigers have asked that fans wishing to watch the ceremony be in their seats by 6:40 p.m.

Farmington Hills native Jena Irene, the runner-up on American Idol, will sing the national anthem.

There's been no indication what sort of gift the Tigers will give Jeter, who has been on a retirement tour this season.

He got a No. 2 made out of subway tiles from the Mets, a bench made out of bases and bats from the White Sox, specially-made cowboy boots from the Astros, a pinstriped Les Paul guitar from the Indians, the Metrodome's final second base from the Twins, Napa Valley wine from the A's, a Kingdome seat from the Mariners, a Wrigley scoreboard No. 2 from the Cubs, a surfboard from the Angels.

I asked on Twitter what kind of gift the Tigers are likely to give Jeter, and these are the responses I got:

The #Tigers' ceremony to honor Derek Jeter will be on Wednesday, Aug. 27. Any guesses on what they'll give him as a gift?
