| Synopsis: |
As a young boy in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Derek Jeter knew that his life ambition was to play shortstop for the New York Yankees. That dream was realized in 1996 when Jeter opened the season as the starting shortstop for the Yankees. Since then, Jeter has become one of baseball's steadiest players. He is a consistent .300 hitter, and his fielding has earned him three Gold Gloves. The Yankees appreciate Jeter's value, rewarding him in 2001 with a 10-year, $189 million contract. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has also recognized Jeter's leadership abilities by making him only the eleventh captain in the long history of the team. As a national celebrity, Jeter has made headlines by dating some of the entertainment world's most beautiful stars, including singer Mariah Carey; actresses Scarlett Johansson, Jordana Brewster, Gabrielle Union, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Biel; and former Miss Universe Lara Dutta. |
