Derek Jeter is the star shortstop for the New York Yankees. After winning four world series championships in his first six years in the majors, Jeter very quickly established himself as one of baseball's most prolific winners. It became his dream at a very early age to one day play shortstop for the Yanks. Although some may have scoffed at such dreams, Jeter, with the support of his family, was determined to make his dream a reality. He worked hard to become a complete ballplayer, able to both hit and field. In 1992, Jeter's hard work paid off when the Yankees made him their first round draft pick. Four years later, he was starting shortstop and Rookie of the Year for the 1996 World Series Champion Yanks. He would go on to win world championships with the Yanks three out of the next four years, culminating in a series MVP award in 2000.
