Quotes
 "My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.“ Pg, 181. Jeter
would tell everyone since the day he was born that he was going to be the
Shortstop for the New York Yankees and no one ever believed him. This quote
proves all of his doubters wrong.
 “Jeter is a six-tool player. I've never eaten with him so I can't tell you if he has
good table manners, but I would imagine he has those too." - Rangers manager
Johnny Oates Pg, 257. The significance of this quote is that Jeter has the extra
tool of respect that other players do not have,
 "In big games, the action slows down for him where it speeds up for others.’’Reggie Jackson, Pg, 202. The significance of this quote is that unlike every
other player Jeter likes and wants the pressure to be on him, he doesn’t shy
away from the spotlight.
