“She’s Lying…” – When New York Yankees Icon Derek Jeter Spilled the Beans on Ex-girlfriend Minka Kelly’s True Baseball Knowledge

One of the main reasons Derek Jeter constantly made headlines was his dating life. Being something of a superstar, the Hall of Famer was linked to some high-profile women over the years. One of them was actress Minka Kelly.

Minka did not know a lot about baseball

For a pro player, their sport is their life. And while baseball is one of America’s favorite pastime, not everyone has an in-depth knowledge of it. This included Kelly. The Titans actress once opened up about how much she knew about both baseball and Jeter.

Jeter once teased Kelly

In an HBO documentary about Jeter becoming part of the 3000 hit club, Kelly said, “When I met Derek, I didn’t know anything about baseball at all.” Accusingly, Jeter later said in a different clip, “She’s lying. She’d had a poster of me on her wall when she was in high school and she claimed she didn’t know who I was or anything about the Yankees.” But then, showing his teasing side, he said, “No, I’m just playing. She really didn’t know a thing about baseball.”

Jeter credits his dad for Kelly’s baseball knowledge

The Captain revealed who was responsible for providing information regarding baseball to his then-girlfriend. It was Sanderson Jeter. “She’s learned a lot, but my dad deserves all the credit for that. Because he was the one that had to deal with her lack of baseball knowledge.”
