Derek Jeter’s Legendary Bat: A Piece of Baseball History

An Unforgettable Performance

In the annals of baseball history, few names resonate as powerfully as Derek Jeter. Known for his leadership and clutch performances, Jeter’s career with the New York Yankees is a testament to excellence and perseverance. This particular bat, used by Jeter on May 23, 2001, during a game against the Boston Red Sox, is a remarkable artifact from his storied career. On that day, Jeter went 5 for 5, including a solo home run off Tim Wakefield, marking his 82nd lifetime home run and the fourth of that season.

Specifications and Condition

The bat itself is a testament to Jeter’s prowess and the intensity of the game. Manufactured by H&B, the model P72 bat measures 34 inches in length and weighs 31.8 ounces. Crafted from ash wood, it bears the marks of a fierce competitor: ball and hit marks surround the entire barrel, with blue ball transfer marks on both sides. Cleat marks adorn the front and back, and a heavy coat of Moto-stick covers the handle, a signature of Jeter’s game-used bats.
