Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What number did Derek Jeter wear in the 2003 season?

Answer: 2

Jeter has worn the #2 since 1995, when he played in 15 games. #3 was Babe Ruth, #4 was Lou Gehrig and #5 was Joe DiMaggio. We will have to wait and see whether the #2 is retired to Monument Park in Jeter's honour.

2. What position did Jeter play in the 2003 season with the Yankees?

Answer: Shortstop

He is one of the most respected and feared shortstops in baseball. His lightening fast reflexes have caused countless runners to be thrown out, and have initiated many a double play.

3. How many World Series rings did Jeter own by the end of the 2003 season?

Answer: 4

They are BIG rings. I hope he doesn't wear them all at once! The Yankees, with Jeter as part of the team, won the World Series in 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1996.

4. What nickname was given to Derek Jeter during the 2001 World Series?

Answer: Mr November

On October 31st 2001, the Yankees were playing the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the World Series. The score was tied, and immediately after the clock struck midnight on November 1st, Jeter hit the first game-ending home run of his career.

He was the first player in MLB history to win the All-Star MVP and World Series MVP in the same year (2000). He won Rookie of the Year for the American League in 1996, during his first full season.

He scored 134 runs that year too, meaning that he had scored over 100 runs every season since his Rookie year. The last Yankee to achieve this feat was Frank Crosetti, from 1936-39. Jeter has also gone on to score over 100 runs every year since then.

In 2002 he scored 124 runs.

8. The 2002 season saw Derek Jeter reach 100 hits for his fifth straight year.
