After beginning the season with a series of injuries and an uncharacteristic batting slump, Derek Jeter wound up having one of the finest seasons of his career. Rebounding to hit a nice .297, he capped off the year by becoming the very first Yankee to reach the 3,000-hit mark, as he continued to add to his already Hall of Fame-bound career.
Jeter’s 2011 P72 bat was used by “The Captain” in 2011 and has been dated by PSA/DNA to the April 16th when this bat was gifted to Anthony Wade on April 16th, 2012 and PSA/DNA has included pictures of this exchange from the dugout. This bat is un-cracked and shows good game use. The barrel shows several prominent white leather ball scuffs and there is some light checking from repeated ball contact. A light coat of pine tar is on the handle and the date of manufacture “09/06/11” and specs “34.0/32.0” are stamped into the knob end. This bat comes with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA (1B17115) for the game use and has been graded a perfect GU 10.
