Today, eight years after Jeter retired from baseball, the legend is still famous for his calculated mind. But this time, it’s not pertaining to baseball. Concurrently, as revealed by Ian O’Connor in Jeter’s biography called The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter, the shortstop ran his then-girlfriends through a quiz if he thought there was potential for a long-term relationship.

What test would Derek Jeter run his girlfriends through?

Along the same lines, Jeter moves to talk about the potential chances of a relationship getting serious. And if there was an off-chance, he would quiz his girlfriends. According to Ian O’Connor, the quiz didn’t limit to Yankee-related questions. In fact, the questions were hypothetical in nature, “what-would-you-do-in-this-situation” questions to read a woman’s moral compass.
