Boomer Esiason caused a stir when he said Derek Jeter seemed “elitist” for skipping this year’s Yankees Old-Timers’ Day, and the WFAN host is doubling down.

Jeter says he’s missing the event, a celebration of the Yankees’ 2000 World Series team, for his daughter’s birthday party, but Esiason isn’t convinced that’s the real reason.

“I believe there’s an inaccurate part of this story out there,” the ex-Jets quarterback said on “Boomer and Gio” on Tuesday morning. “There is something going on, I believe. But I don’t believe it’s what everybody thinks it is. But maybe I could be wrong.”

That statement came after WFAN co-host and former Giants running back Tiki Barber relayed that Jeter was “hot” about Esiason’s skepticism.

Esiason said earlier on the show that he received an email from someone in Jeter’s sphere indicating the true reason for Jeter’s absence is a separate family matter, although the former NFL quarterback did not divulge details. 

The Old-Timers’ Day, slated for Aug. 9, will include an actual game for the first time since 2019.

Last Tuesday, Esiason said on his radio show that it was “a little bit insulting” for Jeter to skip out. 

“I think he should be there, he should be part of it. It seems elitist to me,” Esiason said, adding: “Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio played in an Old-Timers’ game together…if those guys put a uniform back on, then [Jeter] certainly can.”

Barber approached Jeter about the comments, with the pair both in Cooperstown to celebrate CC Sabathia’s induction into the Hall of Fame, and Jeter voiced his frustration, according to Barber.

“[Jeter said] ‘He should have called me,’” Barber recalled Monday on his show with Evan Roberts. “Don’t speculate about me. Just talk to me.’ He was hot. I had to calm him down.”

Esiason retorted that he didn’t have Jeter’s contact, saying the legendary shortstop could have called him about the comments, before he reiterated his skepticism about Jeter’s excuse.
