Derek Jeter will go down as one of the greatest players to ever put on a Yankees uniform. Jeter holds the hit record for the Original Yankee Stadium, recording 1271 of them in the historic ballpark. In 2009, Jeter became the New York Yankees all-time hits leader, passing Lou Gehrig with his 2722 hit on September 11th, en route to the Yankees 27th World Series Championship which was Jeter's 5th. Additionally in 2009, he passed Mickey Mantle for most career at-bats with the Yankees. Mantle held the coveted Yankee record since 1968. Jeter won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 1996, has 4 Silver Slugger Awards, 5 Gold Glove Awards and is a 12-time All-Star. In 2000, he became the only player to win both the All-Star Game MVP Award and the World Series MVP Award in the same year. Jeter is renowned for his clutch hitting and ability to perform under pressure as evidenced by his .309 lifetime batting average in the postseason, to accompany his 101 Runs, 20 HR and 57 RBI. Derek Jeter has hand signed this Yankees authentic road jersey on the front. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
