"I'm excited to share my perspectives on the game directly with fans, and give them the opportunity to learn firsthand about my off-field interests like my Turn 2 Foundation." said Derek Jeter. "The creative team has done a great job designing a site that reflects my personality."
"We are thrilled about the opportunity to work directly with Derek on his new site," said Gregg Klayman, Director of Fantasy and Interactive Programs for MLB Advanced Media. "Our goal is to give fans the chance to get closer to one of the game's top stars, while learning more about his life both on and off the field."
Fans can log on and read Jeter's journal entries, get extensive information on his Turn 2 Foundation, watch live and archived video, purchase Jeter merchandise and read the latest news about Jeter from on and off the field. Fans can also send e-mails to Jeter, and the Yankee shortstop will post his answers to selected questions throughout the year.
