It was during his tremendous 2012 season which saw Derek Jeter don this navy blue, size 7-1/4 single-flap helmet. The helmet features his number "2" on the brim and reverse, with the ubiquitous "NY" on the front. The brim is cracked on the front left, where Derek was hit by a pitch from Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber during the August 24 game in Cleveland.

There are also multiple scrapes and areas of pine tar on the brim from where Jeter grabs the helmet. Signed on the front in silver Sharpie "Derek Jeter 12 Game Used" MLB Authentic sticker (EK 042672), Steiner LOA for the signature and LOA on Steiner letterhead signed by Derek Jeter attesting to this use. Video matched to the game Jeter was hit by the pitch.
