One home run — and a key mindset — helped Derek Jeter turn up his game when it mattered most.
Hall of Fame Yankees legend Derek Jeter , an analyst for Fox’s pre- and postgame World Series coverage, takes a swing at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby:A: It could be very intimidating. It’s funny, because you always hear every time someone plays in a series, they say, “I never heard this loud, I never heard it this loud,” OK, great. Go to a Yankee game in The Bronx in October, a World Series game.
A: I hit a home run shortly after midnight .A: I think the key to having any success in the postseason is to treat it like it’s a regular-season game. I think guys have the most problems when they get to a postseason game and all of a sudden in their mind, they make it seem like it’s more important now. I think that’s when the game speeds up. I didn’t do anything different in the postseason, I treated the postseason like it was a regular-season game.
A: I wouldn’t have a recruiting pitch. He already knows what the Yankees are about, he knows what playing in New York is about, so if you have to convince anyone about coming to play for the Yankees, then you’ve already lost. I don’t think you need a recruiting pitch. A: Enjoy it. I remember Mr. T used to always mention how difficult it is getting to the World Series. And when you’re there, you have to enjoy the experience because quite frankly, you don’t know when you’re gonna get that chance back. So I would enjoy every single part of it. And obviously, if you win you enjoy it a whole lot more. But I think you have to recognize how difficult it is to get there.
