Yankee Fan

Jeter was born in Pequannock, New Jersey, but grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He became a fan of the Yankees after watching their games with his grandmother as a child.[3] After watching Dave Winfield, Jeter began to dream of eventually playing for the Yankees. While in eighth-grade, Jeter wrote a story about being the starting shortstop for the team.[4]

Defense

Although some in baseball have considered Jeter to be a below average defensive player,[5] he is most known for a back-handed flip to retire Jeremy Giambi at home plate in the 2001 ALCS against the Oakland Athletics.[6] The out prevented Oakland from tying the game and potentially eliminating the Yankees from the playoffs.[7] Others, notably his former bench coach Don Zimmer, have thought exceptionally highly of Jeter's defense; Zimmer, himself a former shortstop and second baseman, credited Jeter with his ability to make running throws.
