There is no better candidate to carry on the Yankee tradition than Derek Jeter. He has led the team to three championships in four seasons and is arguably one of the best all around players in the game today. This Jeter model black bat commemorates his Rookie season in which he took Rookie of the year honors hitting .314 with 10 homeruns and 78 RBIs. Jeter has signed the bat in silver and added "ROY" below the autograph. The signature and inscription rate a near 10. Limited to only 500 signed, this is number 131 in the edition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Jeter's charity, the Turn 2 Foundation.
