More quotes by Derek Jeter
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
Derek Jeter
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Derek Jeter
If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.
Derek Jeter
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.
Derek Jeter
You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.
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.

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.
Derek Jeter
Everyone fears rejection.
Derek Jeter
Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.
Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
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.
Derek Jeter
I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.
Derek Jeter
When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.
Derek Jeter
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
Derek Jeter
Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
Derek Jeter
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
Derek Jeter
I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
Derek Jeter
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
