Despite living so much of his life in the public eye,Derek Jetersays there is a lot that fans don’t know about him.
Jeter, whose storied life and career as a New York Yankee is the subject of ESPN docuseriesThe Captain, recently revealed that his world since retirement is nothing like fans would imagine.

The dad of three — who shares his daughters with wifeHannah Jeter— says his days are busy. “The mornings are early … getting them up, they’re not in school right now, but dropping them off at school, picking them up.

Jeter also reveals that while his daughters know a little about his baseball past, they can’t really wrap their heads around his legacy just yet.
Jeter was elected to the Hall of Fame in January 2020, receiving 396 votes from the Baseball Writers' Association of America. That kept himone vote shy of becoming the second playerin history to be voted in unanimously. That honor still belongs to former Yankees player Mariano Rivera.

“My girls are the absolute best,” the proud father said at the time. “You know, you hear it before you have kids, people will tell you, ‘Oh, wait until you have your own,’ but it really is true.”
“Every day there’s something new, and they learn something new every single day,” he added. “It’s been wonderful. It’s been more than I ever could’ve imagined.”
