Early Life and Family
Jeter was born on June 26, 1974, in Pequannock Township, New Jersey. His parents, Dorothy and Sanderson Charles Jeter, have played significant roles in shaping his life. Dorothy, an accountant, comes from English, German, and Irish ancestry, while Sanderson, a substance abuse counselor, is of African-American descent. The couple met while serving in the United States Army in Germany. Jeter's father, a former shortstop himself who played at Fisk University, holds a Ph.D.
During Jeter's childhood, his parents instilled discipline by having him sign a yearly contract outlining acceptable and unacceptable behavior. His mother, Dorothy, maintained a positive attitude, discouraging the use of the word "can't." Jeter grew up in a baseball-oriented family, with his younger sister, Sharlee, excelling as a high school softball star.
While residing in New Jersey until the age of four, the Jeter family later moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was during this time that Jeter developed a deep passion for baseball, regularly attending New York Yankees games with his grandparents. Watching star outfielder Dave Winfield further fueled Jeter's aspirations to pursue a career in the sport.
Attending Kalamazoo Central High School, Jeter actively participated in cross country, basketball, and baseball. His impressive batting averages and performance on the school's baseball team earned him various accolades, including the Kalamazoo Area B'nai B'rith Award for Scholar Athlete, the 1992 High School Player of the Year Award from the American Baseball Coaches Association, and the 1992 Gatorade High School Player of the Year award, among others.
After his standout high school career, Jeter earned a baseball scholarship to the University of Michigan, where he continued to shine as a student-athlete.
