NEW YORK (AP) Derek Jeter has been doused inside the New York Yankees' clubhouse after accepting the Ice Bucket Challenge and dishing off to Michael Jordan.

Jeter was sitting on a chair placed on the Yankees logo in the middle of the carpeted locker room when injured New York pitchers CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka dumped a large container of ice water over his head Tuesday before a game against the Houston Astros.

Seconds before he got drenched, Jeter said he was accepting his challenge from former teammate Roger Clemens, actor Mickey Rourke and Yankees General Partner and Vice Chairman Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. The star shortstop said he was challenging his girlfriend, model Hannah Davis, as well as Jordan and actor Kevin Connolly.
