More quotes by Derek Jeter
That's how you win - pitching and defense.
Derek Jeter
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.
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
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
Derek Jeter
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
Derek Jeter
I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
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
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
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'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
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 try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.
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've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.
Derek Jeter
In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.
Derek Jeter
I can see how people work out to feel better.
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.
