A glance back at the early years of Derek Jeter-the New York Yankees shortstop who was never short on talent, looks, or heart. Though he was only 24, many of his teammates described Derek Jeter as a baseball player with maturity beyond his years. His awesome skills on the playing field earned him an American League Rookie of the Year award and helped the Yankees to two World Series championships in three years. Jeter rapidly made a name for himself as one of the hottest young athletes. Baseball fans couldn't get enough of the graceful Yankees shortstop who wowed them with his power and speed. Fans were mesmerized by his heart-stopping good looks-he was even named on of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people in the world! Read all about this down-to-earth superstar, from his childhood in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where his dream of playing for the Yankees began, to his life today, his charity work, his hopes for the future, and why he told GQ magazine, "I have the greatest job in the world." With eight pages of cool photos!
