Derek Jeter, Captain. The legenday #2 shows his poise and teamsmanship year in and year out. He is celebrated more than any current Yankee at home, and booed the most on the road. To DJ, all he has to say is, "I like when we are on the road and teams are booin' us and haten' us."
From 1998-2000, the New York Yankees dominated baseball, winning the World Series every year during that span. Derek Jeter was a cog in the machine that ran over opponents for years on end.
The 2007 New York Yankees finished the regular season with a 94-68 record, third best in the Majors and good for the American League Wild Card. The Yankees finished second in the AL East behind the Boston Red Sox. Their starting third baseman, Alex Rodriguez, won Most Valuable Player honors.
