The other day Derek Jeter hit his 3,000th hit, a home run! My daughter was so excited! She loves the Yankees and has gone to a dozen games already. When she was only about 4 years old she said she wanted to marry Derek Jeter when she grew up, but now she is 11 years old and says he is way to old for her! She has joined the "I hate boys club".
My daughter loves baseball and softball. She knows all the Yankee players and all about each player. One of her favorite players is Derek Jeter. She currently joined a co-ed baseball team, she is currently the only girl. She hit a grand slam and a home run her first day!
I am so proud of her that she is not afraid to play baseball with boys. I am so happy that I have raised my girls to believe that they can do anything that a boy can do. Neither one of them are limited to girls only and boys only stereotypes. I encouraged them to play with girls and boys equally.
We love Derek Jeter because he wasn't afraid to follow his dreams. He dreamed of playing for the Yankees when he was a boy and even admits he wasn't the best player on his little league team. But, he never stopped practicing and trying harder and believing he would some day play for the Yankees! Congratulations Derek Jeter! We love you!
