It is a story that is a true rarity in sports in the
modern era. A player; not just any player, but one that in a sports world that
throws around accolades like penny candy, is truly a superstar, all star and
elite player, who spent twenty years as a member of one team. With free agency,
salary caps, trade deadlines; that is almost as amazing a feat of
accomplishment as hitting .300 for the season.
That is the story of Derek Jeter of the New York
Yankees. Jeter Unfilitered is the
lovingly crafted remembrance, in pictures and words, of a story that is twenty
years in the making. It is a story that almost surprisingly lives up to its
title; an unfiltered look at guy who by in large spent his highlight reel career
in the sports spotlight and not in the spotlight for his off field antics.
Jeter
Unfilitered collects amazing photos not only from the
archives of his career but follows alongside him as he winds his way through
his final season. Photographer Christopher Anderson truly captures not only the
on field exploits, but the off field, seemingly easy going, willing to shake any
hand side of Jeter.
This tribute gathers together the experiences of the
last twenty years; the rise to the bigs, the interactions and crossing paths
with celebrity and average fan, the family, the FIVE World Series Championships,
the highs and the lows that are part and parcel of his amazing career. While
his life has been a series of accolades, this book gives great insight into not
only the past, but what the future may hold for Derek Jeter and it’s a great
way to start the next chapter.
