Befitting his status among “Yankees Legends” Derek Jeter bowed out in memorably dramatic fashion, rapping a walk-off game winning single to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in the bottom of the ninth inning of his final game at Yankee Stadium on September 25, 2014. Three days later, rival Red Sox fans rose in unison to give Jeter a standing ovation as he stepped to the plate at Fenway Park for the first at bat of his final Major League game.
Jeter’s farewell tour provided plenty of similar Hallmark® moments along the way. This set of MLB Authenticated gray Yankees road jersey (HZ288268) and pants (HZ288269) is dated June 11, 2014 and was worn by Jeter during the middle game of the Yankees three-game series at the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field when Jeter collected two hits to record his 3,373rd and 3,374th hits of his career in the Yankees 4-2 win over the Mariners.
