Wilmer Valderrama is like catnip to certain ladies in Hollywood, and it’s very confusing. Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this, shall we?

This is New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter. He’s a five-time World Series champion. He’s the most beloved Yankee in nearly half a century. He’s a former Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. And, if this report from the New York Post is true, he likes to leave a thank-you basket.

New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter has broken up with his girlfriend, Minka Kelly. He is back to being single after spending three years off the market, and some reports even say he was close to getting engaged.

But like a wily veteran who flirts with the thought of retirement before ultimately realizing that he has one or two more good seasons left in him, Derek Jeter has returned to the singles scene after an unprecedented amount of time away.

What does this mean for you, likely college-educated male reader between the ages of 18-35? Well, if you reside within (or in the immediate vicinity of) the city of New York, we have some bad news: Derek Jeter is going to have sex with your girlfriend.

Minka Kelly, girlfriend of New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter and former star of “Friday Night Lights,” has been named Esquire Magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” for 2010. Score one for sporty babes!
