“ ‘Isn’t this kid going to Michigan?’ [New York
Yankees scouting director Bill] Livesey asked.
" ‘No, he's not,’ [scout] Dick Groch shot back.
‘The only place this kid's going is Cooperstown.’"—Ian O’Connor, The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter (2011)
O captain! My captain! Nearly 30 years after this
conversation, you are indeed heading for Cooperstown. Congratulations! Thanks for the memories, Derek Jeter—and for the five more World
Championships during your tenure at shortstop!
