My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.
Derek JeterIn my opinion, I've had the greatest job in the world. I got a chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees, and there's only one of those. And I always felt as though it was my job, was to try to provide joy and entertainment for you guys, but it can't compare to what you brought me. So for that, thank you very much.
Derek JeterI think it comes easy to work hard. I was always taught, don't short-change yourself. Keep working to get better.
