Meanwhile, Hannah, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, was all grins in photos from the induction ceremony in Cooperstown. Come back all week for more. Derek Jeter is driving through his local coffee shop on his way to loanDepot park, where he is four years into his tenure as chief executive officer and part owner of the Miami Marlins.

Caffeine helps, but so would a little more hitting. In each of his four seasons, the Marlins have been a bottom three team in the National League in slugging, including last season when they surprisingly slipped into the playoffs and won a wild-card series against the Cubs. They rely on superb young pitching. All but seven of their games over the past three years have been started by pitchers in their 20s. Without much power, and often engaged in tight, low-scoring games, the Marlins must play the way Jeter did: fundamentally sound team baseball.

Miami lost, 2—0. I did the same thing. Yes, Jeter made mistakes, though the overwhelming narrative of his Hall of Fame career is as one of the savviest, winningest players in baseball history. Jeter is the only player to play in more than 1, winning games and win five world championships.

Where have you gone, man with manners? Here you are, Derek Jeter. The wonder of the Jeter aesthetic is that he seemed to arrive that way in the big leagues—a polished winner right out of the box. He would like to set the record straight on that notion. Derek Jeter is four years into his tenure as chief executive officer and part owner of the Miami Marlins. Jeffery A. Well, now. This is akin to Garbo granting an interview or the Sphinx allowing direct passage into Thebes.

Jeter is about to tell a story about himself from , his rookie season and the birth year of the greatest baseball dynasty of the modern game. Once the Yankees put Jeter at shortstop and Joe Torre in the dugout as manager, they won four World Series titles in five years, a run not seen since , and a run made more astounding by the added exit ramps and tripwires that come with expanded playoffs. Jeter is the all-time postseason leader in games, at bats, hits, runs, total bases, doubles, singles and video highlights.

His jersey is the best-selling jersey of all time. Ninety-six is the origin story. Jeter was 21 on Opening Day when he hit a home run on his second swing and made a spectacular running catch of a pop fly. It was the start to a yearlong coronation as the prince of the city, if not all of baseball. Jeter hit. You can look before and after Jeter and never find another rookie season like his. Jeter is the youngest rookie shortstop to hit.

It was implausibly perfect—except for the story Jeter wants to tell with Mr. T" and says is "like a second father to me. The Yankees are playing one of their final spring training games in Florida before the opener in Cleveland. Jeter remembers it was a game in Winter Haven, Fla. By then Jeter, despite a rocky camp, was locked in as the New York starting shortstop. The Yankees had moved their incumbent shortstop, Tony Fernandez, to second base, only to see Fernandez break his elbow, thus ending even the semblance of competition for Jeter.

Two outs. A ground ball is hit to the right of first baseman Tino Martinez, who fields the ball and turns to throw to second base for the third out. But there is a problem. Martinez has no one to throw to. We ended up getting out of the inning. The manager will sit on the field sometimes? Get your bleeping head out of your ass. I mean, did I just screw up my chance again? Jeter moved to Tampa that winter so he could train at the complex, where he often trained with Martinez and third baseman Wade Boggs, who lived in the area.

Guys with us live close to Jupiter. I was one of the first ones to move, to relocate to Tampa to work out with the player development staff. I did it because I thought if a decision came down between me and someone else, they could see how hard I was working.

So I moved there full time. When camp opened, the Yankees did not hand Jeter the job, but it was so obvious they wanted him to start that by Feb. I think the expectations were a little bit higher coming into this year.

But she can only do so much when given financial restraints by Jeter. So will that change this winter? Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.

What always made Jeter great was his laser-like focus.

For most of his life, it was on baseball. Now, insiders chalk up his more-approachable persona to the simple fact that he has a new focus: selling himself. There is a sound business sense there. Several people involved with the site say Jeter stops in to the Chelsea office when he is in town and keeps in touch via video conference.

Derek Jeter talking Jeter Publishing. As the captain of the Yankees, Jeter could come off as controlling to the point of being cold. Indeed, Jeter in retirement seems more relaxed, warmer. The night before his literary event, he attended the fashion-world prom that is the Met Gala, on the arm of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl Davis for a second year.

Boston fans have softened up since you guys won [three recent World Series]. It pains me to say. I am not happy you won, but you treat me a lot better.
