On the Field with...Derek Jeter (Matt Christopher Sports Biographies)
Derek Jeter was born June 26, 1974 in Pequannock, New Jersey. He was a big Yankees fan. He wanted to play shortstop for them.
Jeter worked hard and got good grades.
Jeter’s favorite sport was baseball. He hardly ever struck out! He was a great fielder too! Jeter threw 92 MPR to first base. He grew up and is now a shortstop for the New York Yankees.
After his first year with the Yankees, he founded The Turn Two Foundation. The Turn Two Foundation is a group of people that helped kids turn away from drugs. Jeter sometimes could not find his glove in the mess of letters youngsters sent.
In 2003, Derek Jeter wrote a book called The Life You Imagine. To learn more about Derek Jeter, I suggest you read it and many other books about Derek Jeter.

Derek Jeter is my role model! Ever since I was 5 years old, I loved Derek Jeter. I always play shortstop and second base too. Sometimes the number 2, is taken so I have to take a different number. I love Derek Jeter, he is truly the hottest guy on earth!
