Like any young fan, he idolized Derek Jeter, New York’s popular shortstop. So imagine Haviland’s attempt to play it cool when the Yankee captain approached him in the weight room of their training facility in Tampa, Fla., and introduced himself. “I just started laughing hysterically,” the senior righthander remembers. “I said...
