He may be one of Barbara Walter‘s 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011, but Derek Jeter‘s string of one-night-stands may be of a different opinion.
Since his split with longtime girlfriend Minka Kelly this summer, the New York Yankees shortstop has been playing the field and “bedding a bevy of beauties” then sending them off in a car with gift baskets of autographed memorabilia — usually a signed baseball, a pal tells the New York Post.
According to the friend, Jeter”s womanizing ways caught up with him this summer when he gifted the same girl twice because he forgot that he’d already hooked up with her.
“He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!” says the insider.
The friend went on to detail the 2009 Sportsman of the Year’s sexcapades, saying Jeter typically has the girls come to his apartment rather than taking them out.
“The girls go through the back-door entrance in the Trump World Tower to avoid the paparazzi.”
On the Barbara Walter’s special, Walters asked the baseballer how he has been able to avoid scandal throughout his career. “I hope you didn’t just jinx me,” Jeter said before responding.
“I try to watch what I do,” Jeter said. “I’m not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes. I try to stay as private as possible; I know that’s difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.”
Oops.
