During the 2002 MLB season, New York Yankees Captain Derek
Jeter batted .297 with 18 homers, 75 RBI and 124 runs scored and 32 stolen bases to earn another American League All-Star nod at shortstop. The Bronx Bombers won another A.L. East crown before bowing out to the eventual World Champion Anaheim Angels in the Division Series. This lot
features one of Jeter's game used bats from that 2002 campaign.
The
offered black ash Louisville Slugger is un-cracked with evidence of moderate to heavy use. It measures 34 inches long
and weighs 31 ounces with ball contact marks and stitch impressions throughout the barrel as well as a moderate coat of Mota Stick on the handle. The
Derek Jeter New York Yankees branded bat (model P72) has been autographed by Jeter on the barrel in 9/10 fine-point silver marker with the added "Game Used Mr. November" inscription. Spectacular example from the
Yankees’ all-time leader in hits (3,465) and a member of the storied franchise's Mt. Rushmore of legends.

COA from Collectors Source which attests to bat being used by Jeter during 2001 World Series against Arizona; Taube has identified label period as 2002.
