MLB legend Derek Jeter rose to excellence in baseball because of his unwavering perfectionism both on and off the field. Jeter’s pursuit of perfection has come off of his high standards set for himself and his always striving to be the best. Although a couple of years after retiring, his passion changed to becoming the best husband and father to his wife and daughters, little did he know that his commitment and protection toward his daughters would one day result in them choosing a passion entirely different from their father.

Recently, in an interview with E News, Derek revealed that the elder one of his daughters seems to have already found her passion. For those wondering, it’s not baseball, and it’s not any sport, either. The Hall of Famer’s eldest daughter, Bella Raine Jeter, at age 5, does not want to do what her father did. However, Captain Clutch is still proud of her for being able to find her passion.
