Derek Sanderson Jeter was born June 26, 1974 in Pequannock, New Jersey. The first of two kids—he has a sister, Sharlee—Derek grew up in a sports-crazy home. For quite some time a story circulated that his parents, Dorothy and Charles, named him after hockey star Derek Sanderson, the dynamic forward of the Boston Bruins. Derek says that isn't true. He was named after his grandfather, Sanderson Charles Jeter. Few people on this planet can honestly say they have lived a charmed life. Derek Jeter is among them. He has functioned at the epicenter of New York sports for more than decade, yet he has none of the bruising and scars that are typically part of that package. What he does have are 3,000 hits, a handful of World Series rings, a Hall of Fame résumé, and the respect and admiration of even his baseball enemies. They say that Derek has gotten all the breaks, and to a degree he has. But the biggest breaks have always been the ones he has made for himself.
