Derek Jeter spent his entire 20-year-long MLB career with the Pinstripes. He made his Major League as well as Yankee debut in 1995, three years after getting drafted by the Yanks for $800,000 in the drafts. The shortstop left his college education and college baseball to pursue a future in MLB. And 20 years down the line, the world can vouch for that decision being fruitful enough.

While Jeter’s dating life took off after his alleged fling with Mariah Carey, the shortstop has always had admirers. Similarly, in an interview from 1996, Grammy and Golden Globe Award winner famous American rapper Queen Latifah, communicated her love for Derek Jeter.
