Books with title Derek Jeter: A Yankee Hero

From an early age, Derek Jeter knew he wanted to be a New York Yankee. Once he joined the team in 1992, he struggled to make his way out of the minor league and he worked hard to prove that he deserved a starting spot at shortstop. And since making it to the major leagues in 1996, Jeter has been the face of the Yankees, and a hero to both adults and kids all over New York!
