Derek Jeter’s final season was a farewell tour for the ages. Jeter, who anchored the Yankee infield from 1995 to 2014, was honored throughout the league for his service to the game. Jeter’s final home run came on September 18, 2014, against the Toronto Blue Jays. Offered here is a Rawlings OML Selig baseball from that game against the Jays. Jeter homered off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey in the sixth inning to put the Yankees up 2-0 in a game they would end up winning 3-2, pushing their record to 78-74.
Jeter signed this ball in the sweet spot with blue ballpoint pen. This is a beautiful example of his looping signature. Under his autograph, he inscribed “Last HR”. There is a Derek Jeter logo on the ball, used during his final season. This item comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ286271) authenticating that this ball was used during the September 14th, 2014 game and a Steiner Sports hologram (220209).
