New York Yankees recently elected Hall of Famer Derek Jeter used this Louisville Slugger P72 model bat circa 2001-02. Jeter was at the height of his powers in the early days of the new millennium, leading the Yankees to back-to-back World Series appearances in 2000 and 2001, winning it in 2000. Jeter was an All-Star in both 2001 and 2002, contributing 21 homers, 74 RBI, a .311 batting average, and 27 stolen bases to the Yankees pennant-winning 2001 season. Jeter was just as deadly at the top of the order for New York in 2002, slashing .297/18/75 with 32 stolen bases.

Jeter continued to star for the Yankees until 2014, when he retired as the franchise leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), stolen bases (358), and more. Jeter retired with a full trophy cabinet, having won five World Series titles, five Silver Sluggers, five Gold Glove awards, and the 2000 World Series MVP trophy. In 2017, the Yankees retired Jeter’s number “2”, placing him, deservedly, in the same echelon as Yankee stars Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. This Louisville Slugger bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are ball marks and cleat imprints on the barrel and a coating of pine tar on the upper handle/lower barrel area. Jeter has signed his name in contrasting silver marker on the barrel. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA for the game use and a LOA from JSA for the signature.
