Derek Jeter will don the cover of April’s GQ Magazine, which is set to hit newsstands on March 22nd. The article on The Captain is entitled: “Derek Jeter’s Swinging Years.”
“Derek Jeter is not a victory robot. He knows his last season was rough. And yeah, he’s pissed at the Yankees about that contract negotiation. The most famous player in baseball sat down with Seth Mnookin to talk his private life, the press, and the specter of his final years in pinstripes.”
“We’ve talked about my story-I’m very fortunate to be doing exactly what I want to do for the team I’ve always wanted to play for, playing the position I’ve always wanted to play. You talk about living a dream or someone living a dream-if I went back thirty years ago and someone told me, ‘Sit down and write out what your dream would be to do,’ I’d be sitting right here.” -Derek Jeter
i guess those bat pictures explain why he gets all the girls
I think his 10″ wallet is more responsible.
Derek Jeter will make GQ sell more copies, to be sure. Our managing director of brand marketing wrote an analysis of Jeter’s sports marketing value on our blog at http://luminositymarketing.com/blog/?p=5109.
