Derek Jeter’s 2006 Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Excellence
A Legendary Battle for the AL Batting Title
In the thrilling 2006 MLB season, two titans of the game, Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees and Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins, were locked in a fierce battle for the American League batting title. Mauer ultimately edged out Jeter with a .347 average over Jeter’s .343. However, Jeter’s performance on September 30, 2006, was nothing short of spectacular, as he went three for three with three runs and a walk, showcasing his relentless pursuit of excellence.

This remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia is a testament to Jeter’s legendary career. The jersey features a “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by two flag tags: “48” and a blank tag. Adorning the tag are two hologram stickers from Steiner Sports and MLB, numbered “222048BB”. The left inseam bears a “100% POLYESTER” tag with washing instructions, while the rear collar proudly displays an embroidered official “MLB” logo.
