Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter is one of the greatest sports legends of all time, a man intensely feared and disliked by his opponents and loved and respected by his team and fans. His charming smile leaves little wonder why he is called the most eligible bachelor in New York.

A Shortstop in the New York Yankees since the beginning of his career in 1995, the attractively muscular seven time all star has won the American League Rookie of the Year Award, the All-Star Game MVP Award, the World Series MVP Award, a Silver Slugger Award and three Gold Glove Awards. His .317 lifetime batting average is the sixth highest among all players ever playing the sport.

Having gone directly from High School baseball to the Yankees, Jeter has had one of the biggest and most financially rewarding shortstop careers of all time. Whiel some question his defensive value, others point to how he is able to pull of some simply remarkable plays.

His trademarks are his cool smirk of confidence as he steps to the plate, his unflappable optimism, and the glint in his eye that some say represents arrogance, others intense concentration.
