Derek Sanderson Jeter ( /ˈdʒiːtər/; born June 26, 1974) is an American baseball shortstop who has played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A five-time World Series champion, Jeter has been a central figure of the Yankees during their success of the 1990s and 2000s due to his clubhouse presence, on-field leadership, hitting ability, and baserunning. He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,155), games played (2,472), stolen bases (342), and at bats (10,066). His accolades include twelve All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, four Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and the Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter is the all-time MLB leader in hits by a shortstop, and the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits.
The Yankees drafted Jeter out of high school in 1992, and he debuted in the major leagues in 1995. The following year, he became the Yankees' starting shortstop, won the Rookie of the Year Award, and helped the team win the 1996 World Series. Jeter continued to contribute during the team's championship seasons of 1998–2000; he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 1998, recorded multiple career-high numbers in 1999, and won both the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in 2000. He has consistently placed among the AL leaders in hits and runs scored for the past ten years, and since 2003 has served as the Yankees' team captain.

Plot: In a future post-apocalyptic California, the new frontier is a vast nano-contaminated Zone cut off from the all-connected Grid and the ceaseless flows of bodies and information outside its borders. Only the insane or criminal would venture into this low-tech, body-corroding backwater: that's what Kaja has been told. But when her best and only friend Adelle disappears, apparently kidnapped and taken to the Zone by an anti-nanotech revolutionary group, Kaja is forced to enter this bizarre and alien world. There, where even fundamental matter and individual identity are up for grabs, as a virtual assassination team moves in for the kill, anti-technology cultists plot a takeover, and a mad cyberscientist prepares a vast mind-harvesting experiment, Adelle will begin to suspect that her entire brain is an elaborate organic computer program... But what, exactly, does it do?

Genres: Western,I was stuck in my own mind
Watching days just pass me by
Feeling like there was no chance
To navigate out of this trance
Pre chorus:
But then I said
It's my life
And I'm gonna get it right
I feel the light now
Breaking the seams
Chorus:
Hold tight, yeah you're almost there
Daylight, you're gonna make it there
Waves they keep attacking
But finally it feels like I'm the captain
Oh, oh
Sitting in a crowded room
With people who don't seem to care about you
At least that's how it seemed to me
Oh, current won't you set me free
Pre chorus:
Cause it's my life
And I'm gonna get it right
I feel the light now
Breaking the seams
Chorus:
Hold tight, yeah you're almost there
Daylight, you're gonna make it there
Waves they keep attacking
But finally it feels like I'm the captain
Oh, Oh
Bridge:
Do you ever feel so lost
With no way to be found
Free floating through the tide
Just waiting to run aground
The truth is, you're the one way out
You're the one way through
It's you
Pre chorus:
Cause it's my life
And I'm gonna get it right
I feel the light now
Breaking the seams
Chorus:
Hold tight, yeah you're almost there
Daylight, you're gonna make it there
Waves they keep attacking
I know that I can
Hold tight, yeah you're almost there
Daylight, you're gonna make it there
Waves they keep attacking
But finally it feels like I'm the captain
Oh, yeah
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the captain
