Born to be a Yankee compiled from The New York Post (Harper Paperbacks, August 2014)

Some things, Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee Clipper,  Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson and the House that Ruth built, are quintessentially Yankee…now add Derek Jeter to that list.  In fourth grade, Jeter told his teacher in Michigan that he was going to play shortstop for the Yankees and play it he has. Passed up by the Astros during the draft, Jeter has spent the last two decades in Yankee pinstripes wearing #2, one of only a handful of players who have played their entire career with one team.  Fourteen of those years he played on the American League team in the All-Star game; he won the American League Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award each five times and has been honored with countless more accolades.  This heavily illustrated commemorative edition, compiled from the archives of The New York Post, chronicles Jeter’s career as a superstar baseball player, a team player and a fan favorite as he prepares to bid farewell to a career that has served him, and his teammates and fans, well.
