As the Yankees’ captain, Derek Jeter pointedly avoided introspection. He was part of so many indelible moments, and every game was a chance to make more. Ask Jeter for perspective on history as it unfolded, and invariably he started his response like this: “It’s not like you sit around thinking about it.”
Jeter, to be sure, has stayed busy since retiring after the 2014 season. He married the supermodel Hannah Davis, and he will soon become a father. He has started publishing ventures and is part of a group trying to buy the Miami Marlins.
