What is it really like being a superstar shortstop with
four World Series rings, MVP awards from the All-Star Game
and the World Series, and a long-term contract playing for
the best team in baseball? In Game Day, New York Yankee
Derek Jeter takes you behind the scenes for an intimate
look at his life on and off the field during spring
training, the regular season, and the 2000 World Series. With never-before-seen photographs that capture private
moments at home and public moments at home plate, Game Day
is a unique look at how a world-class athlete like Derek
Jeter is able to push himself to win, whether it is the
50th game of the 162-game season or Game 5 of the World
Series. Divided into three parts, Game Day invites Derek ’s
fans to see how he gets ready every year for spring
training, how he makes it through grueling regular-season
games, and how he tackles each game in the postseason,
where every run scored and every play made is the
difference between going home in victory or in defeat. Beautifully designed and full of exclusive, candid shots,
Game Day is a true insider ’s peek into Derek ’s life. Fans
can see Derek warming up with fellow Yankees at spring
training and before games, goofing off with Bernie
Williams, sharing a meal with Tino Martinez, relaxing at
his home in Tampa, getting his hair cut at his apartment in
New York, working out to stay in shape all season, walking
the streets of the Big Apple, hugging his parents and
sister after winning the World Series, and making the big
plays that have made him one of the most thrilling baseball
players in the major leagues today. And fans can read about
how Derek approaches each game, hones his skills, sharpens
his mental focus, and stays competitive throughout the
entire season, leading up to the biggest game days of all:
the championship play-offs and the World Series.

Re: Game Day: My Life on and off the Field
The threat of suffocation is far from being the only one - the main character can be electrocuted from scraps of power cable or nailed by rotating wrecking stations. Nevertheless, these dangers are not particularly annoying - it's too easy to avoid them. (Anna May 11:01am May 20, 2018)
Of course, we travel through the ruins of a space ship, we are not just so - we must find a way to go back. For this, it is necessary to fix some systems, get to the rescue shuttle and try not to perish along the way. Well, just like in "Gravitation", right? But no - forced to disappoint all those who anticipate the gameplay, not inferior to the film in the heat of passion. Nothing like this in ADR1FTno - there will be no desperate attempts to reach the station, which is retiring to infinity, nor the massive bombardment of the remains of the station with space debris, nor any particular difficulties with the launch of equipment. Instead, a gloomy journey from one oxygen cylinder to another, attempts to understand the local navigation system (the radar is extremely uncomfortable), and the growing irritation from the snail's speed of the main character. The travel route strains no less - flights like "go through the long corridor, push one button and go back the same way" here is the rule rather than the exception. (Anna May 11:01am May 20, 2018)
