Derek Jeter gets real on his Yankees career and philanthropy efforts

There are not many Hall of Famers who can say they played for the same team for 20 years. That's the legacy Derek Jeter created for himself on the field during his MLB tenure, in which he only represented the Yankees, before his career came to an end, followed by an unprecedented unanimous HOF selection.

“You want to have a legacy on the field," Jeter said in the Modern Luxury Issue titled 'Derek Jeter Inspires the Next Generation On and Off The Field'. "My legacy on the field is enough for me for people to say I was a Yankee. It’s the only team I wanted to play for. I was fortunate to play for 20 years.

Jeter also advocated for playing the game in the right way and holding respect for teammates, opponents and the organization. He also shared the importance of giving back, especially if you can.

"You also want to be known for playing the game the right way; treating people well; and having respect for the game, your teammates, your opponents, the organization, and then it’s always important to give back,” Jeter added.

Jeter runs Turn 2 Foundation, which aims to inspire young people to lead healthy lifestyles by turning away from drugs and alcohol.
