"Derek Jeter is undoubtedly the most talked about, argued about,
cheered, booed and ultimately respected baseball player of his
generation. And as public a figure as he has been, he is in many
ways the least known. That changes now as Ian O'Connor, one of the
best sports writers anywhere, goes deep and does what no one has
quite been able to do: Tell us a bit about who Derek Jeter really
is."--Joe Posnanski, author of "The Machine"
"Deftly told."--"Washington Post"
In "The Captain," Ian O'Connor draws on unique access to Derek
Jeter and more than 200 new interviews to reveal how a biracial kid
from Michigan became New York's most beloved sports figure and the
face of the steroid-free athlete. O'Connor takes us behind the
scenes of a legendary baseball life, from Jeter's early struggles
in the minor leagues, when homesickness and errors threatened a
stillborn career, to the heady days of Yankee superiority and
nightlife, to the battles with former best friend A-Rod. All along
the way, Jeter has made his Hall-of-Fame destiny look easy. But
behind that leadership and hero's grace there are hidden struggles
and complexities that have never been explored, until now.
