About this ebook
This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates the career of the legendary Yankee shortstop featuring iconic full-color images from The New York Times.
After twenty major league seasons—all with the New York Yankees—Derek Jeter retired from the game at the conclusion of the 2014 campaign. The Yankees’ captain since 2003, the shortstop is considered the greatest Yankee of his generation. Jeter’s teams won five World Series, including three in a row in 1998, 1999, and 2000. The all-time postseason leader in hits, doubles, and triples, Jeter earned the nickname “Captain Clutch” for his game-changing performances during the Yankees’ championship era.
Through stories and powerful images from the pages of the New York Times, Derek Jeter: Excellence and Elegance celebrates the career of this New York icon from Jeter’s debut in 1995 through his final game in 2014. This full-color pictorial keepsake also features an introduction by Tyler Kepner, the Times’ award-winning baseball reporter.
