The former baseball pro, whose life and career as a Yankee is the subject of ESPN docuseriesThe Captain, recently revealed that his world since retirement is nothing like fans would imagine.
“The mornings are early … getting them up, they’re not in school right now, but dropping them off at school, picking them up. Tennis lessons, ballet lessons, you know,” the five-time World Series champion shared.
Jeter also revealed that while his daughters know a little about his baseball past, they can’t really wrap their heads around his legacy just yet.
