Presented here is an 8 x 10-inch photo of Derek Jeter signed by the 2020 Hall of Fame inductee. Perhaps no player before or after had such a lead-in as Derek Jeter. He won the High School Player of the Year Award from USA Today and the ABCA in 1991. He followed that with a Minor League Player of the Year Award in 1993 at age 20, after coursing through all three levels of minor league ball in a single campaign. He joined the Yankees in '95, became the team's everyday shortstop in '96, and won that year's A.L. Rookie of the Year Award. Jeter would spend the entirety of his 20-year career with the Yankees, winning 5 World Series titles and 14 All-Star selections. Jeter would gain entry into Cooperstown in 2020. The offered photo features Jeter on the cusp of a swing, possibly playing for the Albany-Colonie Yankees in 1994. Jeter's early and bold signature in blue marker appears across the image. The photograph is in great condition, save for some slight wear on the corners, and comes with an LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.
