The Captain — five World Series titles and the defining figure of the New York Yankees dynasty, whose leadership, consistency and theatrical moments made him American sport's most celebrated player of the 2000s.
Derek Jeter was the face of the New York Yankees dynasty and one of the most beloved players in American sports history. His five World Series championships (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) and consistent performances across a 20-year career with one team — the Yankees — made him the model of consistency and loyalty. "The Flip" in the 2001 ALDS and "The Dive" in 2004 are the most iconic individual defensive plays of the modern era.
"The Flip" — a blind relay throw in the 2001 ALDS that cut down Jeremy Giambi at the plate — is the most celebrated individual defensive play in the past 30 years of baseball.
