More quotes by Derek Jeter
It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.
Derek Jeter
I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.
Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
Derek Jeter
I think sometimes people need to get used to an idea.
Derek Jeter
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Derek Jeter
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Derek Jeter
The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.
Derek Jeter
I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.
Derek Jeter
During the offseason, I go to the movies almost every day. You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.
Derek Jeter
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.
Derek Jeter
I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.
Derek Jeter
Nine games? It's too long.
Derek Jeter
It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
Derek Jeter
In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.
Derek Jeter
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.
Derek Jeter
It doesn't take any talent to play hard.
Derek Jeter
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
