Michael “Mike” Vasaturo studied accounting at Saint John’s University in New York City. For nearly three decades, Michael Vasaturo has led New Haven Terminal, Inc., as vice president. When he is not managing financial strategy and general business operations, he enjoys following professional baseball. His all-time favorite player is New York’s Derek Jeter. Over the course of his career as a New York Yankee, Jeter twice led Major League Baseball (MLB) in regular-season hits. Interestingly, Jeter’s two record-setting seasons occurred 13 years apart. Jeter first led the league in hits in 1999, his fifth season as a professional. He finished the season with 37 doubles, 9 triples, and 12 homeruns as part of his league-best 219 hits. He also led the league in plate appearances that season, with 739, and had a healthy batting average of .349. Between 1999 and 2012, Jeter eclipsed 200 hits five times, but it was not until his 216-hit 2012 campaign that he once more claimed the spot of the league’s most consistent hitter. He again led the league in plate appearances, this time with 740. Jeter’s extra base hits and runs batted in (RBI) were down compared to 1999, though he moved up from 10th place in Most Valuable Player (MVP) voting in 1999 to 7th in 2012.
