I liked this book because I like baseball and it shows the struggles, Derek overcame when he was in the MLB. Also, I like biographies and learning about other people and celebrities. Also, I like it because it goes like month by month and year by year. And it has facts about his stats and stuff like that. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball.

I love this book! BUT I LOVE BASEBALL!!! Who is Derek Jeter? And how did his career start? You'll find this all out in this book! The author Keith Elliot Greenberg writes several short biographies that I would consider easy reads. He really caps the audience if you love baseball and help sheds light on his career. This book also includes several pictures that would be great to help students know who Derek Jeter really is.
