2003 Derek Jeter Game Worn Jersey. The most belo
<B>2003 Derek Jeter Game Worn Jersey.</B></I> The most beloved Yankees star since Thurman Munson, and the first team captain since him as well. This road grey gamer packed the fans into every ballpark the star shortstop visited during the Yanks' thirty-ninth American League Championship season, with "New York" announced in navy and white tackle twill on the chest and number "2" in similar design on verso. The Yankees Centennial patch announces one hundred years of history on the left sleeve. Tail tagging is "Russell Athletic Authentic Collection," with flap tags affixed at bottom reading "48 100% Polyester" and "+2" Extra Length." A "2003" year tag is at lower right. Use is light to moderate, and certainly acceptable for a player of Jeter's stature. While Jeter's numbers alone should be sufficient to earn him an eventual home in Baseball's Hall of Fame, the tenacity of play seen in moments of brilliance so captivating that they are known simply as "The Flip" and "The Dive" proves that not every multi-millionaire athlete is by definition a prima donna. Derek Jeter is one of the last "old school" ballplayers, and for that he should be celebrated by those of us who collect baseball memorabilia out of nostalgia for the purity of the game. Acquired directly from "Yankees-Steiner Collectibles," the official hobby outlet for game used Yankees gear, with a Brandon Steiner signed letter of provenance and matching holographic stickers. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
