Former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter was preparing for his final season and retirement from professional baseball in 2014. Jeter has maintained a sense of privacy and separation from the public despite being a well-known figure in sports for the past 20 years.
Joe Torre, the former Yankees manager, asserts that Jeter's exceptional character traits were greatly influenced by his parents' role in giving him a psychological foundation.
"Even though it was his first year in the big leagues, Derek was a finished product as a person,” Joe Torre, the former Yankees manager, says, still a bit amazed all these years later. “Very mature, responsible. He felt comfortable in his own skin. Other players need to be validated. Derek doesn’t need the attention.”

Before the 2014 season began, Derek Jeter declared that it would be his final one. He retired in September of that year with the sixth-highest hit total (3,464) in major league history.
One of his first actions was to work with Simon & Schuster to start Jeter Publishing, a publishing imprint.
In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which has produced several New York Times Best Sellers, including the first children’s book released, The Contract, and a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, which provided fans with an in-depth look at his life.
In 2017, he became part owner of Miami Marlins, for whom he also serves as CEO.
Derek Jeter's interest in expanding his business pursuits aligns with a trend among celebrities and stars who take ownership of their own content and production.
As Jeter embarked on the next chapter of his life, he was focused on taking charge of his own business pursuits and becoming a multi-platform content provider. He was excited about the possibilities that lay ahead and the opportunity to shape his own legacy.
