Derek Jeter Makes The Yankees Go
It has been said of Derek Jeter
That's true as far as it goes, but it tends to mask the accomplishments of the future Hall of Fame shortstop.
Yes, Jeter does have an almost uncanny ability to get the big hit or make the crucial play, but he also produces day in and day out. Former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre has frequently remarked that Jeter seems to start every Yankees rally or cap it.
The Yankees began a remarkable new edition of their dynasty just as Jeter arrived in 1996. The Yankees won their first World Series championship in nearly two decades and Derek Jeter easily won the American League Rookie of the Year award.
The 1996 World Championship kicked off an amazing run of 4 World Series victories in 5 years. During this run, Jeter became the heart and soul of the pinstripers. They became known as "Jeter's Yankees" much like the squads of the 1940's and 1950's were called 'DiMaggio's Yankees".
Congratulations to Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees on winning yet another World Series Championship in 2009!!
Although he is not a great home run hitter like former Yankees Royalty, Jeter has now assumed an equal place in the hearts of Bronx Bomber fans alongside Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle.
Derek Jeter is a winner - That's what makes him Yankee Royalty.Â

"A true inspirational and motivational book. Once I began reading, I found it difficult to put down. A true tribute to how determination, dedication, love, support and a positive attitude can help anyone achieve whatever dreams they desire. Derek Jeter's journey from a childhood dream to the steps and scarifices he took in accomplishing his goal is a life lesson for anyone, whether you're 9 or 99. An intimate look at his family, his thoughts, his fears, his struggles, his triumphs...I found myself laughing, crying and reflecting on my own life as I related his experiences to my own. This book teaches you about Derek Jeter, but mostly, it teaches you about life. A+++++" - Kelli Brown
