Derek Jeter (Baseball Superstars)

Derek Jeter is a true superstar. The seven-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1996 and the World Series MVP in 2000. He has helped bring four World Championships to the New York Yankees, and as Yankees captain has been a dedicated team leader admired by every Yankees fan. He is one of the best hitting shortstops of all time, and one of the game's true clutch players. And Jeter is a leader off the field as well: His Turn 2 Foundation is one of the nation's most successful youth programs. Filled with informative career statistics and eye-catching photographs, the all-new Derek Jeter explores the life of a celebrated, big-hearted athlete who is well on his way to becoming a Yankees legend on par with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio.
