While growing up in Michigan, Derek Jeter dreamed of one day playing baseball for the New York Yankees. Did the shortstop dream that he would be Rookie of Year and a world champion Yankee by age 21? That his hitting and fielding would have three championship rings, and that he would be earning five million dollars a year by age 25? That he would be hailed by columnists as "the most eligible bachelor" and sought by companies to endorse their products? The author revisits Jeter's amazing high school playing days at Kalamazoo Central, his homesick minor league stints and his still-young Yankee career. Jeter's good practice habits and willingness to improve and sacrifice to help his team win are emphasized throughout. The book is part of the "Sports Great" series profiles of baseball stars. Many black-and-white baseball photos are included. 2001, Enslow, $17.95. Ages 8 to 13. Reviewer:Todd MoningBook Details
