With Derek Jeter leading them into the new millennium, the New York Yankees have reaffirmed their position as baseball's finest dynasty. Since joining the team at the start of the 1996 season they have taken home six American League pennants and four World Championships. The 2004 season should prove to be interesting with Alex Rodriguez joining the team's lineup, which very well may be the best of all time. The team captain used this bat and it was subsequently given as a gift by George Steinbrenner's son Hal to a team supporter. It will come with a copy of a letter from Hal Steinbrenner and the original FedEx box. The bat shows excellent use with ball, hit, and cleat marks evident on the barrel. A heavy coat of pine tar has been applied to the handle. Manufacturer: Hillerich & Bradsby, Model Number: P72, Labeling Period: 2002-03, Length: 34, Weight: 31 ounces, Wood: Ash, Finish: Black. The bat comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
