As far as modern baseball is considered, Derek Jeter is a name that would be the name on everyone’s mind. The former Yankees captain played for two decades in MLB. He had one of the most successful careers with 5 world series wins, which put him on the elite list of Baseball Hall of Famers. Even after almost a decade since retiring, his name echoes with the chorus at the Bronx stadium. Jeter experiences the same in every appearance as a Yankee, but things are different beyond the field.

Though Jeter, as a baseball legend, gets all the love and cheers, things are a little different as a father. Reflecting on his new role recently, Jeter gave a sneak peek into his new center stage at home.

Since retirement, Jeter’s stage has changed from baseball field to home. Jeter has a lovely family, including four kids, that puts him in a different role. It has challenges that demand more attention, which makes it a beautiful job. Jeter recently was part of the Herd with Colin Cowherd. On the show, he also gave an insight into his life as a father in comparison with his playing days, where a lot was different.

The conversation started with the question, “Do you miss sometimes though the juice of being a Yankee in center stage, and you never leaned into it?” It was a unique question that pointed towards the perspective of Jeter as a baseball player who loved the game.

Jeter had an answer with a picture of the drastic change he has been going through. Jeter shared that as a Yankee, he still gets all the love, but his center of attention is not that anymore. He added, “The center of my universe now is at home. I got four kids under six. So look, I got a lot going on too. So it went from cheers to screaming and crying and yelling, so I still hear the noise. It’s just a different type of noise.”

The answer was around his kids, namely Bella, Story, River, and Kaius. The four under six certainly are energetic and noisy like any other kid. Jeter needed the same energy before venturing out to his new journey as an analyst.
