Derek Jeter Is Awsome! He Is The Best Legend Ever!

This book is great because it shows how great a player Jeter is. I am his biggest fan and I love him just a little more after reading that. He is what we call a "team player" and I really respect him. I think that he will stay a hero for ages and I hope he doesn't retire for a loooooooonnnnnnngggggg time! This book tells about all the great things he does, facts and info about him, and more! Read it if you get a chance and meet the one, the only, DEEREEEKKKK JEEEEETTTERR!

Old Gills Has really out done himself

I think Mr. Gills is a master craftman who deserve another chance. He has only written this one measly little book, but I believe he's got a bright future ahead. He is a bit verbose, but his description of Derek's kneecaps is priceless. I think anyone under the age of 10 will love this book.

The best.

Derek Jeter The PRIDE Of The Yanks is the best book I have ever read. It is full of great discription. I LOVED IT!

Like its subject, this bio is hot, hot, hot!

Great ballplayers, like great teams, don't just happen. They are the end result of meticulous (often painful and dreary) planning, revision and execution. But when greatness happensand Derek Jeter is a great player on one of the all-time great Yankee teamsthe results are dazzling. Author Patrick Giles has succeeded in delivering the dazzle in this hot new bio of Yankee superstar shortstop Derek Jeter. He delves into the Derek Mystique--why he is a favorite of young fans (many of them young women), fellow players and the most hardened baseball watchers. Giles follows Jeter's upbringing in Michigan, his early successes (and failures) in the minor leagues and his eventual stardom on a World Championship ballclub and, in 1998, one of the greatest teams of all time.But this is not just a baseball story. It's a story about celebrity, the ups and the downs of being in the public eye. Giles shows how young Jeter has worked to prepare himself for his success, to avoid being a flavor of the month (even if that means keeping a certain pop diva at arm's length).Derek Jeter: Pride of the Yankees is as interesting, as inspiring, as entertaining and, yes, as hot as its subject!
