Well after a few weeks on the road, we're back in New York again. It seriously felt like we were gone forever.
So like Ryan did, I am putting out the invite for everyone on here to send in their questions and I'll start answering them as they come in. I probably won't be able to get to everyone, but if you make yours stand out and ask me something really good, I'll tackle those first.
More to come in the next couple of days.
if you were another position or another player who would you be?
You love to attack that first pitch! Did you do that in Little League?
Has your stance changed since little league???
dose your familey suport u by being at ever game???
hey derek....i met you 2 years ago... i was just at the game tuesday me and my friends met the whole bullpen and i asked joba to get you to come over but yankees batting practice was over=[ i have a question..... who inspired you to be a shortstop?
if you could travel back in time, which yankee would you like to meet and why?
How good are my chances if I apply for the manager or owner position for the New York Yankee team in five years?
In your years or future years to come do you believe a female, woman, or lady could be a professional manager of a mlb team?
Just curious since you want to be an owner.
Yeah curiousity killed the cat but I believe satisfaction bought her back.
If you could be a girl for a day, would you do it? If so, would you trade lives with a famous actress or would you be Ms.Jeter? haha
PS. There are no steriods in baseball, just the players Chuck Norris breathed on. haha
You said that you like Old School R&B, so whats your favorite Old School song?
Derek, I am the same age as you and going back to college. I have limited time to attend/study just like you. Are you going to finish your degree? (I dont see that you have, but I think I was told you dont have it yet). Always with good thoughts!
Ryan gave me a great answer, so here's my question for you: How did your parents keep you on track as a child with respects to balancing school and sports?
We are champions
Hey Mr. Derek Jeter. I was at the game where you hit your 1st grand slam (it was my 1st yanks game) and I am a HUGE fan of yours (i'm sure you hear that a lot). But i was just wondering a few days ago do you have any superstitions during/before the game??
Hi Derek!
I hope all is well. I wanted to know how do you keep your teammates motivated when things are no going so well?
Thank you and Take Care,
Shy
if u were a pitcher what would be your pitches?
Awesome!

My mom is 83 years old and is #1 fan, what are the chances of her to meet you one day?
What are some key ingredients a baseball player must have to be consider a major league baseball player?
Hope one of my five question stands out. If not, still like you anywayz. If you had a chance to go back in history to visit or play in a world series game. Which game would it be? Why?

Did you ever get in a really bad slump that you thought you would never get out of?
Do you miss Torre being your coach or do you like the new coach (i'm not sure how to spell his name so i won't even try)? Personally, I miss Torre?
Do you think the new Yankee stadium could be, can be, might be lengendary as the old Yankee stadium?
Do you ever get a chance to sign autographs before your home games?
hello mr. jeter.
ok let me just start out by saying I TTLY LUV YOU and think u r an amazing player.
ok my question is if u would ever consider kuming to a different team like the Angels? (im not an angels fan at all im a HUGE Yankee fan i just live in LA)
and i love watching u play u have so much passion for the game it really is sumthing to admire.) it sucks bcuz i kan never see the Yankees play in their own stadium. =[
have a good rest of the season and i look forward to seeing u in the playoffs.
What has been the best moment in your MLB Career?
-Jeff
Though you may not remember, a couple of weeks ago in Chicago, I was the one with the sign about Goals for '08 inc. to meet you.. and you came over. THANK YOU!
Though you've already accomplished so much feats, what remaining goals do you have?
Thanks
First, congrats on sweeping Marlins!(I was at yesterday's game, awesome!) Second, Do you dance? Like, actually like when you go clubbing, do you ask a girl to dance, or are you one of those who just watches? If you do, do you merengue?
Hi Derek! I'm 8 years old, & my dream is to become 1st baseman 4 the Yankees. My mom says that if I work hard & practice, anything is possible. Since u wanted 2 be a Yankee when u were younger 2, I wanted 2 know if there's any advice u could give me.
Hello Mr Jeter
I said just keep the team in good health. Just keep up with good games. Just remember do not chase the ball at the home plate and you're home run will come back and I got one thing to said just at the old tape on you're home runs.
Hey Derek!! How are you?? First of all I like to congrats on your RBI's against Mariners at May 4th... you played really good. First question what positon did you play when you were little? Also, how old were you when you started to play baseball?
Hey Derek,
Im a huge Yankee fan, and im a huge fan of yours. Great game saturday when you went 4for5. Anyways I know in an interview you said you would like to take some things home from the Stadium bc this is the last year, What would you like to take?
Derek,
I want to be a Jeters Leader. I think your foundation is a great thing. But on your website it says you have to be in either 8th grade or 9th grade. How come? Im in 11th grade. Are there any exceptions?
Not to knock the Yank's, but have you ever considered moving to Texas (The Rangers need some help bad, and I think you and Nolan Ryan would make a great team)? Seriously, you said that you would like to be an owner. Where would your ideal team hale from
Thought I would change it around and ask this. If you had a chance to ask a fan a question what would it be? Why?
P.S.(Your open invitation)
Hey Derek,
How do you support your teammates seeing as you are the captain?
What are your hobbies when you are not playing baseball?
DEREK JETER your my IDLE!my question is do you ever wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say to yourself "i am the captain/shortstop of the New York Yankees" does it ever seem too good to be true?i hope my quesion stands out enough.-Mrs.Jeter
how do you stay in shape over the off season? i play softball and i think a few helpful tips from the greatest baseball player ever would def. help me.
Hi Derek My question is who or what inspired you to star playing baseball
Very big fan of the yankees and you go out and get those tigers
Hi Derek. Our little league team lost our first 8 games that we played. We played good together even though we lost. Do you think it is better to win a game or to play as a team? We did win our 1st game tonight though!!
So, Your 24 hour fitness club in NYC raves about the training program that goes back and forth between strength training and stability. Do you use that program? Also, what type/model/length/weight bat do you use?
No question, Just a comment. As the beatles once said "You gotta carry that weight".
Jeter, Please pass this on to Jason Giambi, HE'S GREAT, and with him continuing to produce, all the Yankees will have fun and have a great season.
Jason GILBERT Giambi? What's up with that??? Now I don't feel so bad with my middle name "Bartholomew".
GO JASON!!!! HIT #9 TODAY!!!!
