ESPN’s “The Captain” wrapped its deep dive on legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter on Thursday, putting a cap on the storied career of a storied man.
The series didn’t unveil much we didn’t already know. Jeter has a winning attitude. He expects those around him to have the same high standards he sets for himself. The Yankees dynasties of the 1990s were built around his philosophy that winning always comes first.
There were also, of course, the usual hits: His hot and cold relationship with Alex Rodriguez and the endless tabloid speculation about his private life.
