More quotes by Derek Jeter
I can have fun anywhere, as long as I'm with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.
Derek Jeter
Our fans don't want to see us win the Wild Card. They want to see us win the division.
Derek Jeter
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
Derek Jeter
In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

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
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 go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.
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
Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.
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
The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.
Derek Jeter
It doesn't take any talent to play hard.
Derek Jeter
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.
