A former New York Yankees coach recently revealed how MLB legend Derek Jeter worked to win five World Series rings

After enjoying a Hall of Fame-worthy career, New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter dropped his cleats in 2014 and became known as a legend in the game. His heroism at the Diamond made him one of the best shortstops in MLB history. He also became famous for not losing his fan base even though he retired more than eight years ago.

To this day, those involved in the sport in one way or another do not forget to mention Jeter’s name when talking about baseball greats. Former New York Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long recently appeared on an episode of “The Book of Joe” podcast to talk about the most routine-oriented player, Derek Jeter.

What did the former Yankees coach say about Derek Jeter?

The captain, who has won five World Series titles during his 20-year pinstripe career, has many other accolades. His brave actions in the ballpark have earned him the respect of countless people in the game.

So when Phillies coach Kevin Long got the chance to talk about his former protégé, he was going to tell all he could about the most humble player on the field. We also mentioned how he worked his way to the top and won those five World Series rings. He said, “It’s the same person every day. I don’t know if he was 20-0 or 20-20. He was doing the same thing every day. When he came to the cage, it was the same routine.” It was the same drill, he never got away from it.

And Long is just one of many who couldn’t resist the charm that Mr. November spread on the field. Besides, he was one of the guys who helped Jeter become one of his best players.

What’s Jeter up to these days?

After retiring from Major League Baseball, the former shortstop turned to various things to keep himself busy. Then, a month after his retirement, he founded ‘The Player’s Tribune’. It provides great insight into everyday sports conversations and brings fans closer than ever to the games and players they love.
