On July 9, 2011, Derek Jeter made history, becoming just the 28th player in Major League history to record 3,000 career hits. Jeter took a David Price curveball deep to left field and over the fence for a HR and an exclamation point for his 3,000 career hit. As impressive as that feat is, even more impressive is the fact that Jeter was the first and only to do so a New York Yankee, adding to his already unbelievable list of career accolades which include the 1996 American League Rookie of the Year, 12 All-Star game selections, 4 Silver Slugger and 5 Gold Glove awards to go along with his 5 World Series rings. He is perhaps the most clutch performer to ever don the pinstripes and consistently coming up big in big spots. Jeter continues to produce at a staggering clip, breaking records on what seems to be a nightly basis. David Price has hand signed this "DJ3K" logo baseball, and added the inscription "I Gave Up DJ's 3K, 7-9-11." This piece includes a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
