Since joining the Bronx Bombers in 1995, the NY Yankees have not missed the playoffs with DEREK JETER playing shortstop. More importantly, Jeter has won four World Series championships and has been nicknamed "King of New York". This rookie game-used bat from the 1996-97 season shows excellent use with blue and white ball marks and transfer marks on the right, left and front barrel. A moderate coat of pine tar is on the handle to aide in grip. There is light checking on the left barrel. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Labeling Period: 1996-97, Length: 33-1/2 inches, Weight: 30-4/5 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA and a Yankee/Steiner Letter.
