Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is an enormously talented hitter and fielder, a respected team leader, a good role model for young fans everywhere, and a magnet for the camera. In his first book, The Life You Imagine (Crown 2000), Derek opened up and gave fans a personal look into his life, his relationships with his family, friends, and teammates, and his strategies for success.Now Derek is back with Game Day, and this time there are more than 120 specially commissioned photographs -- by famed sports photographer Walter Iooss, Jr. -- that let fans share the experience of getting ready for a game. Showing Derek getting up, working out, heading to the stadium, playing the game, and unwinding after it, Game Day is an unprecedented, intimate look at the life of baseball's most well-known and admired young star. And these pictures won't be found anywhere else, because Derek has never before allowed this kind of access to his life.Beautifully designed and photographed, Game Day is the closest, most exclusive look yet at one of the most talented, charismatic, and photogenic stars in sports today.
fabulous book - great info, amazing photos. the only problem? I have to share it with my son, as i gave it as a gift to him. Jeter is spectacular, and this book is a must have for any true fan.
The Life of a Shortstop
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I recommend this book because it tells what Derek Jeter, of the Yankees, does at home. He is a very ordinary person. He drives himself around, and does his own laundry. " I am a couch potato." This is the very thing I never hear a famous person say. " I always put time in for fans." He gives his signature to anyone he can. Derek Jeter is a very responsible person.
Excellent Photos

This book has excellent large photos (the ones from Sports Illustrated are spectacular). It is a little thin on details, but it is catering as a photo book, so no disappointments there. Even the text that is provided is unique, educational and entertaining. Great as a gift for Jeter or Yankees fans and something to leave laying around for guests to read.
