Derek

Derek Jeter's baseball career has managed, in only 15 years, to become one of the greatest baseball players alive.

He was born on June 26, 1974, Derek Jeter, son of Charles and Dorothy, quickly developed his innate ability for sports. In 1992 he joined the Minor Leagues and struggled for three years to advance until, in 1995, be caught a break and was given a spot in the Major Leagues. 

From 1995 to 1999 Derek went on a winning streak, as his batting average kept rising and he helped his team go through many hardships and gaining many victories. However, in 2000, he won the Derek Jeter World Series award and, later on, became one of the few players to ever own both an All Star Game MVP award and a World Series MVP award for the same season. In 2004 he suffered a shoulder injury and his game started to fade away easily, as his recovery went along quite slow. Even though Derek was injured, he kept on playing and helped the New York Yankees rack up several points in the championships.

His reputation grew stronger and endorsement deals came along, as he even helped release a baseball training machine to the market.
