Offered is a Derek Jeter signature on an Official American League Bobby Brown baseball. The former New York Yankees shortstop has signed his name in blue pen on the sweet spot. Known for his patented "inside-out" swing, Jeter led the majors in hits and tallied career highs in home runs and RBIs in 1999, and in 2000 he became the first player to be named the All-Star Game and World Series MVP in the same season. In September 2009, Jeter passed Lou Gehrig with his 2,722nd hit, the most in Yankees franchise history, before earning his fifth world championship ring at the end of the season. In July 2011, he homered to become the 28th player in history to reach 3,000 career hits. In addition to his five world championships, Jeter finished with an impressive .310 lifetime batting average, and his 3,465 hits ranked sixth in big league history. This item comes with a full LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A52544).
