Former New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter has only been retired for a few days. Yet, he’s now crossing over to be a part of the media with his new venture.
The site is “devoted to delivering athletes’ unfiltered views to the fans.” It is called The Players Tribune, and it can be found at http://www.theplayerstribune.com.
It is a digital company that reportedly offers unique access to top athletes in every sport from videos to photos to podcasts and more. The site says this will all come without a sports reporter doing it.

As the news media has changed with the Internet, Facebook, and Twitter, Jeter wants to transform how athletes and newsmakers share information. In the 24/7 news market that we live in, he hopes the media company will “bring fans closer than ever to the games that they live.”
“Those simple answers have always stemmed from a genuine concern that any statement, or opinion or detail, might be distorted,” Jeter said in the letter on the site. “We just need to be sure our thoughts will come across the way we intend.”
He ended his 20-year career this past Sunday when he singled in his final at-bat at Fenway Park. He won five World Series Championships in his career.

“It’s the reception outside of New York that was the biggest difference this year,” Jeter said of his final season. “I’ll never forget how baseball fans across the country treated me.
“Ballparks I used to view as enemy territory were transformed with cheers, handshakes, and hat tips. If I thought baseball was part of my family before this season, I now know what is truly the case. And I am grateful for that.”
