I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

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.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
Derek Jeter
Image
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
Image
Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
Derek Jeter
Image
The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
Derek Jeter
Image
Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter
Image
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
Derek Jeter
Image
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.

Image
It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

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.
