I'm always intrigued by creativity. I think it's really interesting to see what kind of ideas another person can come up with. Normally, I wouldn't read an article that was about baseball. I admit, there's only one sport I like to watch or read about: college football. Go Hokies! The latest issue of the Hollywood Reporter has Derek Jeter on it. Why would I read an article about Derek Jeter?
The article is about Jeter's "next step" after retiring from baseball. He's started something called the Player's Tribune. It's an interesting idea and I doubt I would have known an out it otherwise. The article mentions that he has a foundation that provides programs for young people in New York, Kalamazoo, and Tampa, Fl. His foundation recently partnered with the StopIT cyberbullying app.
But back to the original question, why would I be reading about Derek Jeter? Seven years ago, he was one of the New York Yankees who played an exhibition game in Blacksburg. The things I remember about that game? Seeing those big names flash up on the screen when they came up for their at bat. Jeter, Rodriguez, Giambi. I remember seeing them hanging out in the dugout with the Hokie players. I also remember thinking "they should have let the Hokies score at least one run." The final score was 11-0.
Good luck with your next steps Mr. Jeter.
