Derek Sanderson Jeter
"The Captain"
"Mr. November"
| | New York Yankees 1995 - 2014 | |
As the cornerstone of five World Championship teams, Jeter was a leader on the field and in the clubhouse, setting an example for his teammates with his uncompromising desire for team success.
He retired with a franchise-best 3,465 hits sixth on baseball's all-time list having played more seasons (20) and games (2,747) than any other Yankee. A lifetime .310 hitter with a .377 on-base percentage, Jeter was the longest-tenured captain in team history, holding the role from June 3, 2003 through the end of his career in 2014.
Jeter garnered 14 All-Star nominations, five Gold Gloves, and five Silver Slugger Awards. In 2000, the shortstop became the first player in Major League history to be named All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP in the same season.
A consistent winner, he compiled an incredible .593 regular season winning percentage (1,628-1,117-2) in games played, and he retired as baseball's all-time postseason leader in games (158), hits (200), runs (111), and doubles.
Erected 2017 by New York Yankees Baseball Club.
