Subsequent to the days of DiMaggio and Mantle, there is no Yankee more honored than Derek Jeter. Jeter played 20 seasons in pinstripes and was considered the key figure behind the Yankee teams in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s that brought five World Series championships to the Bronx. Jeter is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits, doubles, games played, stolen bases, times on base, plate appearances and at bats and was also a 14 time All-Star and the recipient of five Silver Slugger Awards, five Gold Glove Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and a Roberto Clemente Award.
This 16 x 20 photo shows Jeter during his minor league years with the Yankees before anyone truly knew how big a legend he would become. It is framed and matted with a Yankee pinstripe background and shows Jeter’s hitting style that would enable him to become the 28th MLB player to reach 3,000 hits in his career and the all-time MLB hit leader for shortstops. This limited edition piece comes with Steiner Sports authentication and is numbered 11/27.
