New York Yankees shortstop and future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter wore this pinstriped Yankees home jersey during the 2000 MLB season. Jeter led the Yankees to the World Series title against the New York Mets, hitting .409 in the Fall Classic to win the World Series MVP award. Jeter also won the 2000 All-Star Game MVP, becoming the first player in Major League history to win both prestigious awards in the same season. Jeter hit .339 in 2000, adding 15 home runs, 73 RBI, and 22 stolen bases for the American League East Division champions.
This offered Yankees home jersey is a white button-down, with a black memorial armband for the Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Lemon sewn on the left sleeve. The Yankees interlocking “NY” logo is sewn on the chest in navy tackle twill, and Jeter’s now-retired number “2” is sewn on the back in the same fashion. A MLB logo patch is sewn on the back outside collar. A Russell Athletic tag with attached size “48” and “+2 Extra Length” flags is sewn on the front left tail above a “2000” year tag. This jersey comes with a LOA from MEARS for the game use.
