Derek Jeter’s 1999 World Series Bat: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Season for the New York Yankees
In the annals of baseball history, the 1999 season stands out as a testament to the New York Yankees’ dominance. On their way to clinching their third World Championship in four years, the Yankees swept the Atlanta Braves in a commanding four-game series. This era of excellence was marked by the contributions of a young Derek Jeter, whose prowess on the field was instrumental in the Yankees’ success.
The Bat of a Champion
Among the relics of this historic victory is a bat used by Derek Jeter during the 1999 World Series. This 33.75-inch, 32-ounce P72 model Louisville Slugger bat is a tangible piece of baseball memorabilia that captures the essence of Jeter’s impact on the game. The bat exhibits significant game-use, adorned with ball, ball stitch, and black bat rack marks throughout, yet remains uncracked—a testament to its resilience and the intensity of the games it witnessed.
