Derek Jeter’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
An Iconic Moment in Baseball
In the annals of baseball history, few players have left as indelible a mark as Derek Jeter. Known affectionately as “The Captain,” Jeter’s illustrious career with the New York Yankees is celebrated by fans and collectors alike. Drafted in the first round of the 1992 amateur draft, Jeter’s legacy is punctuated by his remarkable achievements, including five World Series titles and five Gold Gloves. This particular jersey, worn by Jeter on May 23, 2012, during an 8-3 victory, is a testament to his enduring greatness.
A Historic Game-Worn Jersey
On that memorable day, Jeter recorded his 3,152nd hit, tying him with fellow Hall of Famer Paul Waner for the 15th spot on baseball’s all-time hit list. This jersey, adorned with the Yankees’ iconic “NY” interlocking logo on the left chest and Jeter’s number “2” on the back, is a symbol of his extraordinary career. The front left tail features the Majestic manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by flag tags reading “48” and “2012.” Additionally, it bears an MLB hologram serial number “EK089672” and a Steiner hologram serial number “195038.”
