If you paid attention to Major League Baseball during the late 90s and early 2000s there was one team that dominated the competition, the New York Yankees.  The team appeared in 7 World Series in a span of 15 years winning 5 of them.  A person that was pivotal to all that success was Derek Jeter, also known by his fans as The Captain.

Derek Jeter played shortstop for the New York Yankees from 1995-2014 and was the leader of one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history.  Although he didn’t dominate in the stats of the game,  Jeter was known for his impact and clutch plays such as “The Flip”, “The Dive”, and “Mr. November”. While most players succumb to the pressure of playing for the Yankees, Jeter was able to manage the pressure with a style and grace few Yankees have ever possessed.

The most popular Yankee did an amazing job of keeping his personal life and any professional drama out of the media.  Now fans of the Yankee Captain will be able to get a little more knowledge about the man in the upcoming ESPN documentary The Captain premiering this Monday, July 18th, after the home run derby. You can check out the trailer for The Captain below.
