In the MLB sphere, the New York Yankees hold a golden place. With 27 World Series titles, it is one of the most successful and legacy teams. Over the years, multiple players have added to its rich legacy, including Babe Ruth and the modern great Derek Jeter. But there are a few of the chapters of the legacy which remained in the close sphere.

Jeter, who was part of the Yankees during all his playing career, disclosed one such legacy, which included his best friend, teammate Jorge Posada. The Book Jeter: Unfiltered talks about one such incident.

A Hidden Legacy Which Derek Jeter Followed Rigorously

Ex-Yankees captain Derek Jeter is a synonym for hard work, dedication, and success. All these have contributed to his rich MLB career, which made him a forever star. Being an athlete comes with an inevitable need to maintain fitness. And Jeter, who played for two decades, fulfilled this. But there are many exceptions which were needed to break the monotonous schedule.

Jeter, who guided many, had one such exception too, which went beyond the advice of the team nutritionist. On page 27 of the book, Jeter gave a detailed picture of the incident.

Jeter’s account read, “I used to always look for Jorge Posada first when I showed up for spring training because he was my closest friend on the team. He and I had a spring training tradition.” 

He added, “On the last day, we would order a bunch of Hooters chicken wings, then we’d drive to Baskin-Robbins and get ice cream. Not exactly what a nutritionist would advise, but we weren’t telling.”

Although this was a change in Jeter’s daily routine, it never affected his working hard even during the off-season, as told by his sister.
