Not to be confused with SCEA's MLB 07 (PSP, PS3), 2K Games has just announced that their 2k Sports Major League Baseball 2K7 (PSP, PS3, Xbox360) will have New York Yankees' team captain Derek Jeter as the cover athlete AND official spokesperson for the game.

No idea who Derek Jeter is? Simply put, Derek Jeter is one of the best baseball players around, ending the 2006 season with a .343 batting average which ranked second overall in the American League.

And as mentioned, he's the captain of the Yankees and is also a seven-time All-Star. Last year, Jeter also won the Gold Glove award, making it his third one in a row.

He also won the Hank Aaron Award for best overall offensive performer for the American League. He has even been hailed by some critics as one of the best players to ever don that much-coveted Yankee pinstripes. So anyway, here's what Jeter had to say about 2K's decision in choosing him as the cover athlete and spokesman for MLB 2K7:

It is a real privilege to represent the premier MLB title in the video game industry. Just as I am always striving to improve my game, 2K Sports is constantly improving theirs, and this dedication has made Major League Baseball 2K7 the best MLB video game ever.

Major League Baseball 2K7 is currently being developed by Kush Games and is slated for release later this winter for the Xbox360, PS3, and PSP.

Jeter is the man. So many people think that he can't play but he has so many more clutch plays than most out there on the field today. Just cuz the Yankees school your baseball team doesn't mean that they suck. Accully it means they are better then yours.

I'm a die-hard yankee fan and I think he's overrated... oh well last season was decent. Anyone who is saying the Yankees suck is just hating... They are one of the best baseball teams. The Phillies, on the other hand, suck. Won't make the play-offs again for like how many years now?

ugh he was on the cover last year, put someone else there already. I'm a Yankee fan, but I think that Someone like Ryan Howard or Johan Santana should be there, those guys were absolutely great...
