Shortstop Derek Jeter, Cornerstone of Recent Yankee Championships.(Interview)
AT A PHOTOGRAPHER'S REQUEST, DEREK JETER LIFTED HIS LEFT HAND WITH four fingers extended upward, signifying the number of World Series the Yankees had won since he began playing regularly for the club in 1996.
There was a slight smile on his face as he responded to the request after he and his teammates had subdued the Mets, 4-2, in the fifth and final game of the 2000 Fall Classic at Shea Stadium.
For his contributions with bat and glove in all four of the Yankees' victories, Jeter, 26, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Series.
He accepted the honor with an inborn graciousness and perception.
"MVP, you could have picked a name out a hat," he said. "It seems like we have a group of MVPs."
He mentioned half a dozen players who added their touch to the Yankees' triumph, including Paul O'Neill, Jose Vizcaino, Luis Sojo and Mariano Rivera.
"You don't rely on one guy," Jeter said. "You have to get contributions from everyone."
