MLB Hall of Famer Derek Jeter built himself a legendary career.
A .310 batting average, 3,465 hits, 260 home runs, 1,311 RBI, lots of postseason and franchise records, and his most important accomplishment, five World Series titles, speak loudly about his place in the history of the game.
As it turns out, Jeter was also a star off the field.
Yes: the fashion industry always admired the way he dressed and looked.
The confident, well-spoken Jeter was the dream player from a marketing standpoint, too.
He was the image of many video games, fashion-related brands, and others.
He was accepted in another Hall of Fame, other than the one in Cooperstown and the New York Yankees’ Monument Park.
“Backstage with @DeionSanders, @alleniverson, and @derekjeter at the inaugural GQ Sports #StyleHallofFame induction ceremony,” GQ Sports tweeted.

GQ Sports covers the most stylish athletes, revealing interviews that break news, and coverage that goes beyond the field.
They pay close attention to elements such as fashion, culture, and lifestyle.
A sports personality who likes to look good will understandably draw their attention.
Jeter, Deion Sanders, and Allen Iverson were icons in their sports.
Jeter was a star on and off the field in baseball, Sanders fulfilled that part in football (and baseball, too!), and Iverson was a true pop culture hero for those following basketball in the 1990s and 2000s.
It’s just another achievement for Jeter in a life full of them.
You can’t deny that the man likes to look good, and mostly succeeds in that quest.
He will be starting a new journey as a booth analyst for Fox Sports.
We bet he will include some cool looks and clothes.
