    DEREK JETER’S BIOGRAPHY By the time he stepped away from baseball in 2014 after a historic 20-year career, Derek Jeter had established himself as one of the most respected men to ever have played the game. With a reputation as an unmatched leader both on and off the field, Jeter has quickly transitioned into a second career leading a variety of successful business ventures and entrepreneurial investments. Most recently, he became part-owner of MLB’s Miami Marlins, for whom he also now serves as CEO, overseeing the day-to-day for both the business and baseball operations for the team. He is the first African-American to serve in this role for any major league team in the history of the sport. Jeter is also the founder of The Players’ Tribune, an innovative multimedia company where world- class athletes share their honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love. In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which includes both adult and children’s books verticals. The first book released, The Contract, debuted at #2 on The New York Times Children’s Middle Grade Best Seller list. In October 2014, the imprint released a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, also a Best Seller, providing fans an in-depth look at his life through never-before-published images taken over the course of his final season. He also serves as Partner and Brand Development Officer of Luvo, a transformational lifestyle food brand where he is involved in product development, brand awareness and strategic partnerships.

In the case of the major league baseball owners again they tried. But try as they might, they haven't been able to destroy the post-season. It all stated in the divisional playoffs when all four games were played at exactly the same time, so that the audience could be regionalized. In the League Championship Series or LCS(which has the ominous sound of a religious cult) the Baseball Network again repeated their minimalist pattern starting both games simultaneously. There was one improvement. When one game ended they switched to the other, and some late inning tension was enjoyed nationally.

  • Jody Hull February 2, 1969 –
    CAMBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME Jody Hull February 2, 1969 – Jody Hull was the Hartford Whalers’ first-round draft pick (18th over- all) in the 1987 NHL entry draft, and made his NHL debut during the 1988-89 season when he played 60 games. That season he had 16 goals and 18 assists. Playing in the NHL was the culmination of years of hard work and effort. Hull rose through the ranks - after his time with the Cambridge Winter Hawks Jr. B team in 1984-85, the Peterborough Petes of the OHL selected Hull in 1985. That year he played in 61 games for the Petes, scor-ing 20 goals and 22 assists.The following year he played in 49 games, scoring 18 goals and 34 assists, and in his final season of junior hockey with the Petes, he scored 50 goals and added 44 assists in just 60 games. He was named to the OHL Second All-Star Team in 1988. He played with Ron Tugnutt for two seasons with the Petes, as well as with Luke Richardson, Kris King, Tie Domi, Mike Ricci and Bill Huard. Then the Hartford Whalers made him a first-round draft choice in the1987 NHL entry draft, but before turning pro, Hull played in the 1988 World Junior Championships as a member of the gold medal-winning Team Canada. He played in his first NHLgame on October 8, 1988 against Boston, andscored his first NHLgoal four days later against the Rangers in New York. The big right winger split time in 1989-90 between Hartford and their AHL affiliate, Binghamton, where he scored 65 points in 69 games – before being traded on July 9, 1990 for Carey Wilson and a third round draft pick (Mikael Nylander) to the New York Rangers.
