Derek Jeter is one of the greatest baseball players to ever live. He was born in Pequannock, NJ, and he has now officially retired from baseball. The only team that Derek played for was the New York Yankees. He was very lucky and got to play with baseball players that he grew up watching such as Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs. Not only that but Derek Jeter has his own organization called Turn 2 foundation. This foundation is a charitable foundation that was started by DJ (Derek Jeter) in 1996. What the overall foundation does is to help kids from drug and alcohol addiction. Overall, DJ is an amazing baseball player and also a great man to idolize.
Question 6- If I could ask the author a question what would it be.
My question to DJ would be "How come you chose baseball to play instead of playing any other sport. Also how did it feel to play with two people that you idolized as a kid.
Question 1- Describe the main characters of the book.
The main character DJ is a 41 year old man who has played 20 years of baseball with the New York Yankees organization. You may also know him from a Gatorade commercial in the mid to early 2015 of him and him in public seeing his fans and interacting with them.
I loved Derek Jeter!! I was so upset when he retired that must be a great book, I loved how you recited the questions.
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with you Derek Jeter is one of the greatest of all time. I like how he contributed some of his money to charity and not stupid things.
