More quotes by Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
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
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
Derek Jeter
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
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
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
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
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
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
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 never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
Derek Jeter
Everyone fears rejection.
Derek Jeter
I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
Derek Jeter
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
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
I try to stay as private as possible I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
Derek Jeter
You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.
