Derek Jeter became captain on June 3rd, 2003. It is a relative rarity that Yankee teams with uniformed captains win the World Series. The Yankees have had captains during all or part of 52 seasons, and yet have only won the World Series 7 times with captains--in 1923 under Everett Scott, in 1936-1938 under Lou Gehrig, in 1977-78 under Thurman Munson, and in 2009 under Jeter. Gehrig was considered the captain even after he retired until his death in 1941. Although the Yankees won championships in 1939 and 1941, Gehrig was not in uniform, and in fact died in June of 1941.
