Derek Jeter and the Yankees made the ideal team. In the finest way possible, the two enhanced one another. Jeter made the Pinstripes one of the most dominant teams in history by giving his entire career to them. While also appreciating their illustrious captain's sacrificial efforts to the Yankees.
The Yankees did not just win every game in the late 1990s because of Jeter. Joe Torre, the Yankees manager, was one of the reasons, too. For the Pinstripes, Jeter and Torre together were fantastic. They were always willing to hear each other out. An ex-Yankees player previously shared what made Joe a successful manager.
The reason behind his success was his calm nature. How he treated the young players in the dugout made him a great manager.
Jeter said, "He is calm. He just had a calming influence on the everyone."
