Derek Jeter, coming off the worst season of his career, is committed to being the regular shortstop for the Yankees next season.
He’s also made a deal to become a book publisher, in a partnership with Simon & Schuster announced Thursday.
The Jeter Publishing imprint will begin churning out titles in 2014, dabbling in sports and non-sports themes with a mix of books for adults and children.
Here is a lineup of ideas for Jeter to consider:
Lord of the Fly Balls
OK. Also, The Lord of the Rings.
2001: A Base Odyssey
An epic straight out of a Hollywood script. Filled with stars.
The Hunt for Red Sox October
Takes place in 2003 and 2004. It’s a thriller.
Infinite Jeets
It kinda goes on and on.
Runs and Lovers
Dedicated to Mariah Carey. And Jessica Alba. And Jessica Biel. And Minka Kelly …
One Flew Over the Short Porch
This one’s a home run. The guy’s an institution.
Goodnight Mo
Something for the kids. Last thing before lights out.
A-Rod Shrugged
Heh.
Old Man and the ‘C’
For the Captain. That’s fair.
Gone with the Win
He can only hope.
