The media and fans have always loved the shortstop no matter what, but he was also pretty famous among the ladies. Over the years, the shortstop got linked to multiple women. But as the man always wanted to keep his personal life separate, most of those links are still rumors to this day.
The Captain once sat down for an interview with the actual entertainment magazine, Playboy. Having talked about many things, Jeter also revealed the secret of how he used to ask a woman out.
What was the rule that Derek Jeter followed during his dating days?
For many years, there have been multiple stories that came out about how the baseball legend Derek Jeter used to ask out a woman. But those never really included any words from the shortstop himself. Therefore, when Playboy’s interviewer asked him, he had to talk about it.
One thing that never left the mind of the athlete was how to keep his personal life hidden from the media. However, if it was anything related to the game, he would be all for the media to broadcast it.
“Initially, it’ll be as part of a group. Like someone will bring their friends, and I’ll have my friends. It’s easier that way. Because when you do the one-on-one thing, that’s when the media get so involved,” Jeter said.
