Q & A with The Captain

Derek Jeter recently sat down with Yahoo Sports' Dave Brown to discuss a variety of topics. Here's just a few.

Q: When you dived into the stands for that ball against the Red Sox in '04, were you surprised that no one grabbed your butt?

DJ: I kind of wasn't even thinking about that [laughs]. What did catch my attention was, there's 56,000 people there and I dive into the one seat that there wasn't a person sitting in there. I was hoping I'd land on someone — but that didn't work out.

Q: Whose wax dummy would take longer to melt: Yours or David Wright's?

DJ: Oh, man. Longer? I'm probably a little taller, so it might take longer for mine to melt [laughs].

What exactly was Dave Brown thinking there?

Q: Mr. Trump. What kind of landlord is he?

DJ: He's great; I've gotten to know him throughout the years and he's been great to me.

Q: Shouldn't Michigan just give you a degree already?

DJ: I think so. They probably should. I'm still a freshman. I went to school there in the off-season of my first year as a pro. I think they should. I'd like to get a degree. You ever see the movie "Back to School"? I'll go back with my kids.

Newsday also has some news on DJ today. The Captain has been romantically linked to 6 of the women listed in Maxim's Hot 100. Quite an ecclectic list - Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, Mariah Carey, Vanessa Minnillo, Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba. Johannson and Biel are in the top 10, and we figure Alba probably dropped a few notches after she got pregnant.
