I only arrived in the United States in January of 2000, aged 32.
Had never before watched baseball, never collected US sportscards.
In the 4 months I travelled around the USA I watched endless sports, and in April of that year bought my first baseball card.
It was a 93 Pinnacle Jeter.
He just stood out, as champions do.
I have purchased thousands of cards since, and a foil version of Derek has replaced the Pinnacle in my collection, but 13 years later I still remember that card arriving and my falling in love with sportscards.
Thanks Derek Jeter.
