The impact that Derek Jeter had goes well beyond baseball. This documentary was done by the same guys that did Michael Jordan and the Bulls "Last Dance". You get the perspective directly from Jeter from his youth to getting drafted by the Yankees, to all the championships and more.

This show is not just for Yankee fans, it's about a guy that came from a mixed marriage with two incredible parents from Kalamazoo, Michigan and become a sports icon. Derek Jeter is narrating and explaining everything to the viewers throughout the documentary. Interviews with family, former players and more are all mixed in. You get a much deeper understand for why he is the person he is and the consummate professional.

Watching this also brings you back to a fun time in sports and baseball, the late 80's and 90's. Pre social media when you didn't know everything about a player and the stories, rumors and mysteries were strong. In these episodes you here more about the mythology stories of Derek's dating life, his relationship with A-Rod and other teammates and his perspective on so many big games and World Series moments.

Jeter is one of the most clutch athletes in sports history. He always had a knack for coming up huge in big moments to win championships. This show is another winner!
