The core group of shortstop Derek Jeter (.339 average, 119 runs scored), center fielder Bernie Williams (.307 average, 30 home runs, 121 runs batted in), catcher Jorge Posada (.287 average, 28 home runs), starting pitcher Andy Pettitte (19-9 record) and reliever Mariano Rivera (36 saves, 2.85 ERA) led the New York Yankees to an AL East division title during the 2000 regular season. Postseason success once again followed, as victories over the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners and New York Mets propelled the Yankees to their third straight World Series title.       

This glorious trophy design is the end result of the season that culminated with the franchise’s 26th World Series title. While several smaller trophies are produced for the players and executives, this massive piece of metal is a replica of the owner's trophy. Approximately 24 inches tall, 13 inches in diameter and weighing more than 30 pounds, this is a high-quality replica. 30 gold plated flags representing all the teams in each league surround a silver baseball with 24-karat stitching and etched with longitude and latitude lines that symbolize the “world” in “World Series”. The gold band on the top of the base has etched “PRESENTED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF BASEBALL” and is completed with a “2000 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS" and the MLB logo that is etched on the silver base.
