New York Yankees legendary shortstop Derek Jeter wore this New York Yankees road jersey to open the 2012 season, a 6 game road trip to Tampa Bay and Baltimore. He produced 10 total hits during the 6 games, including Home Run #1 of the season, 2 doubles and 3 RBIs. Jeter also had a 4 for 4 game mixed in on April 9th, during a 6-2 Yankee victory over the Orioles. The 2012 season was one in which Jeter led all of Major League Baseball in total hits, finishing with 216, the last 200+ hit season of his career. The level of production on this jersey helps separate it from the rest, with a home run being the true finishing touch.

     The 38 year old Jeter was a key piece to the Yankees successful season, as “The Captain” led the American League in hits and was named to the 13th of his 14 career All-Star Games. A .316 hitter in 2012, Jeter claimed the American League Silver Slugger award for the shortstop position.

A Majestic Authentic Collection tag is sewn on the front left tail of this jersey with “2012” and size “48” flags attached.
