Derek Sanderson Jeter[1] has been the starting shortstop for the New York Yankees since 1996, the seven time all star has won the American League Rookie of the Year Award, the All-Star Game MVP Award, the World Series MVP Award, a Silver Slugger Award and three Gold Glove Awards. His .317 lifetime batting average is the 56th highest all-time, and 5th highest among active players. Jeter was named the 11th captain in Yankee history during the 2003 season.[2]

Although he is considered to be a below average defensive player[3], he is most known for a back-handed flip to retire Jeremy Giambi at home plate in the 2001 ALCS against the Oakland Athletics.[4] The out prevented Oakland from tying the game and potentially eliminating the Yankees from the playoffs[5].
