Product Description

He is, perhaps, the most popular modern player in pinstripes. And many consider him a Yankees legend in the making. Derek Jeter has taken New York by storm and is expected to lead the World Champions into the new millennium. What better way to get to know Jeter than by reading the thoughts of teammates, opponents, coaches and baseball pundits? Roger Clemens, Nomar Garciaparra, Joe Torre, Phil Rizzuto and others talk about different aspects of the young shortstop's game. Filled with incredible photos, this book is a portrait of blossoming baseball superstardom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Derek Jeter--A Role Model in Pinstripes, July 25, 2000
By book lover "zolotka" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
As the author of four books on young adolescents (including The Roller-Coaster Years and Parenting 911), I am thrilled to have a positive role model for children. Derek Jeter's behavior on and off the field can inspire young people, even those who are not Yankee fans. He is always respectful. (I understand he still calls Joe Torre, "Mr." Torre). When the rest of the team brawled with the Seattle Mariners, Jeter and his friend, Seattle shortstop, Alex Rodriquez, wisely stood aside. Jeter never blames others for his mistakes. His response is to work harder to improve. He is supportive of fellow players, even when they are struggling with their game. He has made a genuine commitment to children with his Turn 2 Foundation, donating both his time and resources. This book would make a wonderful gift for any young adolescent who dares to dream about the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Photos, July 15, 2003
By Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book has great photos that are large and detailed (not a waste of space like some other books). They show a wide variety of situations, so if you are looking for particular things like I was (e.g., bat grip), it is very handy.

The text is gathered from Derek's peers and provides a great glimpse of what being around him must be like. Great book, especially for kids or older fanatics!

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for Derek Jeter fans and baseball enthusiasts., June 4, 2000
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Baseball fans will find this a thrilling survey of Derek Jeter's life, pairing exceptional often full-page color photos of Jeter in action on the field to accounts of his Yankees career. Major sports participants and writers present the articles which provide insider's views of the sports and Jeter's accomplishments. Derek Jeter: A Yankee For The New Millennium is highly recommended reading for Derek Jeter baseball fans.
