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.

The jersey features a “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by two flag tags: “48” and a blank tag.
