For Complex News, I'm Jinx. Since his retirement from the Major League in 2014, Derek Jeter
has been relatively low, likely focusing on life away from the game, like his recent engagement
to model Hannah Davis. But when he left the public eye, he left some questions unanswered.
Now there's surely tons of Yankee related inquiries... but it's Jeter's off-the-field
antics that leave many of us puzzled. Namely, the rumors fueled by the New York Post in
2011, that the former shortstop had a tendency to hand out gift baskets to his one-night
stands. That's weird on it's own, but supposedly those baskets contained a collection of Derek
Jeter autographed memorabilia. A source told the Post:
"Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York and then he gets them a car to
take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter
memorabilia, usually a signed baseball.”
“This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before,
but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical
parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball. He basically gave her
the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!”
Although snagging a Derek Jeter rookie card is pretty tight, I'd imagine that's not how
you wanna acquire it. This alleged source goes on to spill more supposed truths about
number 2. Well, Jeter, sitting down with Joe Buck, addressed the gossip.. sort of. Check
it out:
So there you have it. Jeter says it's a dumb story, and you've gotta be dumb to believe
it. But is it true? What do you guys think? And if you don't think Derek Jeter would do
something like this... which Pro-Athlete is most likely to pull of this awkward stunt?
I dunno why, but money is on Dwight Howard. Hit us up in the comments with your thoughts.
