A five-time World Series champion, Jeter is regarded as a central figure of the Yankees' success of the late 1990s and early 2000s for his hitting, baserunning, fielding, and leadership.

His accolades include 14 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star selections, five Rawlings Gold Glove Award/Gold Glove Awards, five Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and a Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter became the 28th player to reach 3,000 hit club/3,000 hits and finished his career sixth all-time in career hits and the all-time MLB leader in hits by a shortstop.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium; I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.

You forget about it whether it was 15-2 or 3-2. It's still a loss. It doesn't matter what the score was if we win tomorrow.

My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.
