Early life

Alec Cole Jeter was born June 25, 1978 in Tampa, FL to Jeff and Julie Jeter. Born into an Italian family, he spent his childhood living the Italian Way. His family moved to Ohio shortly after his birth. He became interested in baseball after watching neighborhood kids playing in their yards. He quickly became the towns wunderkid. He played baseball in High School and in college. Jeter recieved a full scholarship through the baseball organization.He attended the University of Tampa and became their star catcher. He got his degree in Marine Biology but has yet to pursue that career. During college he played Minor League Baseball and rose to the top within a matter of months. After having several months in the spotlight, the spotlight soon faded when charges were brough against him when he soon became disorderly. He was involved in alcohol and was turning violent. He kept his stats up through hard work on and off the field. He is currently a New York Yankees Trainer and living in Florida.

Baseball accomplishments

1997
Alec Jeter went to bed Sunday night thinking about the amateur baseball draft, but it was well into Monday before he fell asleep.
"I kept thinking about what would happen if I started slipping," he said. "I wondered what would happen if I slipped to the second round. I didn't get to sleep until about 4 o'clock."
Jeter, a catcher from Dover, did slip Monday, but it was only a notch -- and could not have worked out any better for him.
Jeter, the first high school player drafted, was selected by his favorite team -- the Bakersfield Blaze -- with the fifth pick in the first round. He is the highest-drafted player from Ohio since 1988.
"I knew I was projected to go to Cincinnati," Jeter said, "and I knew the Blaze picked next. I'm just happy to be picked."
Julie Jeter, Alec's mother, seemed equally excited to learn that the Blaze selected her son.
"It's just amazing," she said. "I grew up loving baseball. We're all huge fans; what can you say?"
Jeter was available to Bakersfield because Montreal pulled the surprise of the first round by selecting Mississippi State pitcher C.J. Wallace with the third pick. Wallace was projected to go later. That allowed the Lake Reds to take Central Florida outfielder Chad Murphy and leave Jeter for the Blaze.
Jeter, who hit .508 this season, has relatives in California and for years spent part of the summer there, attending several games at the stadium.
The Blaze own rights to Jeter for up to three years. Jeter, who earlier signed with Tampa University, talked to coach Bill Reneker shortly before the draft.
"Coach wished me the best of luck," said Jeter, " . . . Playing there is a definite possibility. I'd love to play at Florida."
But it seems more likely the Blaze will sign him and avoid the risk of an injury in college.
"We haven't started thinking about a contract yet," Jeter said. "It's going to be a family decision."

1999
Athletes in Bakersfield endure good times and bad while on the field. Luckily for Tampa catcher Alec Jeter, the pressures he faces on a daily basis are not fought alone. The frequent support Jeter receives from his friends and family has not only helped him through tough times but it also has inspired him to help others.
Following a tremendous freshman year in Bakersfield, Jeter underwent Tommy John surgery to repair ligament damage in his elbow. As he entered his sophomore season he appeared to be in top condition, however the surgery that Jeter underwent during the offseason proved to be too painful for him and he was forced to sit out for the rest of the season.
Although Jeter's surgery took place more than a year ago, he still feels the effects of the surgery and will have to undergo surgery again during the off-season in order to return to 100 percent. Despite the pain Jeter has endured this season he always can rely on his friends and family.

Made his Minor League debut on May 7th, 1997, as Bakersfield's replacement Catcher. Starting catcher on May 27, 1998.

In 1998 Signed a 2.5-year, $6.98 Million contract. In 2001 he signed a 1-year $3.42 Million contract, along with a $8.34 Million contract.

2000
Jeter was charged with a DUI and went before a court. The judge ruled him unfit to proceed in baseball and he was forced to take a 13 month leave. Jeter came back the next season and dominated.

2001
Was once suspended for 11 games after arguing with 3 umpires after he was called out on a low strike. The games were later reduced to 7 games after he apologized but was once again re added to 13 games after punching the dugout wall and causing serious damage to teammates and the field. Thrown out of 4 games in the 1999 season for disorderly conduct. Almost arrested for jumping into the stands after an older man who reportedly threw a hat and baseball and hit Jeter.


In 2002, Jeter won his last Gold Glove and quit baseball for good.
"On this day, 4 years ago you all welcomed me into your homes. I would just like to start out by saying how honored it has been playing in the best city, in front of the best fans this country has ever seen. However, it's my time to concentrate on my family and pursue another career. Thank you all for being with me through the easy, and not so easy parts of my career, it's meant the world to me to know how many people care about the team and myself. Unfortunately, I am unable to be apart of this amazing team any longer. Thank you."
