I don’t see Derek Jeter as being a humorous type of person – but this has to be some kind of joke. Even if you’re not a sports fan, you still know who he is – right?! Jeter is WAY too recognizable to give a fake name in person. I think he does this just to get a good giggle. Lol. Check out what name Jeter gives when he goes to Starbucks…

Via NYPost:
The Yankee shortstop was spotted yesterday leaving one of the coffee chain’s locations in Greenwich Village with a cup suspiciously marked with the name “Philip.”
Without his pinstripes, the Yankee captain may have been trying to go incognito as he picked up a cup of joe.
After all, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s operated under an alias.
In 2007, The Smoking Gun Web site published a bill that showed the currently injured baseball star used the pseudonym “Johnny Drama” — an apparent reference to the HBO show “Entourage” — to check into a Seattle hotel with his teammates.
Also listed on the hotel tab were Bruce Almighty (then-coach Don Mattingly) and Ricky Ricardo (Jorge Posada).
Johnny Drama, of course, may not fit well on a coffee cup.
Or, perhaps, Jeter was just a victim of the infamous spelling mistakes and mixups for which Starbucks baristas are so well known, there’s a blog about them.
And there may be some lucky New Yorker named Philip walking around somewhere with a cup marked “Derek.”
