Derek Jeter might\u2019ve been a stellar shortstop, and an iconic Yankees player whose meteoric rise and waning career mirrored his team\u2019s own trajectory as a New York sports dynasty. But he is also, according to both himself and the many frustrated journalists who couldn\u2019t get past his surface, an extremely careful (read: boring) interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s by design,\u201d Jeter confirms on camera, letting loose a genuine grin at the admission. He even goes on to say that \u201cthere are things I still won\u2019t talk about\u201d here, now, for the supposedly in-depth docuseries about his own life (which premieres July 18 after the Home Run Derby and will run seven episodes in total). That contradiction lies at the heart of Randy Wilkins\u2019 \u201cThe Captain,\u201d which can <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly only go as deep as Jeter himself will allow.<\/p>\n<p>The picture that emerges in the early episodes, as per Jeter himself, is one of a consummate professional who worked hard, earned success, and avoided distractions at all costs. As a rule, the closest Jeter gets to revealing anything remotely personal is acknowledging how much growing up biracial in Kalamazoo, Michigan formed his \u201cgotta be twice as good as everyone else\u201d mentality going forward. Interviews with Jeter\u2019s Black father, white mother, and biracial sister underline that fact, making clear that even when white journalists thought of Jeter as \u201ccolorless\u201d \u2014 a direct quote from a Yankees beat reporter in a later episode, much to Jeter\u2019s clear and atypical fury \u2014 it couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>This discussion about the perception of Jeter, as a star and as a Black athlete who got passes others even on his team didn\u2019t, proves particularly fascinating (as could be expected from a series that also counts Spike Lee as an executive producer). It just comes several episodes into the series\u2019 examination of what made Jeter such a phenomenon \u2014 which feels far too late even if it\u2019s by design, to keep casual ESPN fans engaged when they otherwise might\u2019ve changed the channel at the first mention of race.<\/p>\n<p>When talking about baseball, Jeter follows his career standard by keeping his quotes as straightforward as possible. The difference between him and someone like Alex Rodriguez, his more bombastic rival turned teammate, couldn\u2019t be starker than in juxtaposed remembrances of grievances past, as Rodriguez throws up his hands about putting his foot in his mouth while Jeter sits through a tight smile. With Jeter being far from the most revealing interview in the series, \u201cThe Captain\u201d inevitably becomes more of a deep dive on the Yankees of the late nineties and early aughts as a cultural juggernaut, while remaining anchored to Jeter\u2019s presence as its narrative constant.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re a baseball enthusiast in general, or even just casually cognizant of the Yankees\u2019 total domination at the turn of the centry, there\u2019s plenty to chew on here. Jeter\u2019s joined not just by A-Rod, but Daryl Strawberry, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, manager Joe Torre and (Jeter\u2019s personal favorite player) Dave Winfield. Occasionally, sports writers and mainstays of New York at the time of the Yankees and Jeter\u2019s peaks chime in to give context on how and why this team and player became what they did. With Jeter the ostensible main character, though, \u201cThe Captain\u201d can\u2019t quite delve into the nitty gritty of what made the Yankees so good \u2014 or, when they fell to a team like the 2004 Boston Red Sox, so frustrating \u2014 with enough depth to truly satisfy. (If you\u2019re looking for Jeter\u2019s thoughts on A-Rod vs Jason Varitek, don\u2019t bother: they don\u2019t even\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">mention<\/i>\u00a0it.)<\/p>\n<p>And so with Jeter on alert for giving away too much, the series sometimes struggles to find much more to say about him than what we already know. But that reluctance is also what makes the moments when he cracks, even just a little, far more revealing. When Jeter allows himself to be a little petty, or smug, or a sorer loser than his carefully gracious post-match interviews would betray, \u201cThe Captain\u201d becomes that much more compelling, despite its subject\u2019s best efforts.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Captain\u201d premieres Monday, July 18 at 10 pm on ESPN and ESPN+.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
