Before becoming a proud father to three little girls, Derek Jeter lived his dream of playing baseball wearing pinstripes for over two decades. However, it would not have been possible if it wasn’t for his parents, Charles and Dorothy Jeter. There were things his parents asked him to do growing up, which he did not like at the time. But as he grew up, he understood that all of it eventually helped him to become who he is today. From playing baseball at age four to becoming an MLB legend, his parents have always remained supportive of his dream. And have helped him in every way possible.

Now that Derek has become a parent himself, he and his wife, Hannah Jeter, have thought of how they will raise their daughters. Recently, in an interview with US Magazine, Jeter revealed one of the secrets he and Hannah will abide by while raising his daughters.
