Derek Jeter is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Most athletes embraced that popularity, welcoming media coverage of their personal lives. But not Jeter. The Yankee’s star shortstop kept his personal life under lock and key. Furthermore, he became an expert at evading questions about any aspect of private life. But there have been times when fans have been able to see intimate moments in the Yankee legend’s life. One such moment is a picture of Derek Jeter feeling pain at the hands of a woman he regularly met.
