With a new stadium, a staggering payroll, and a World Series championship drought approaching nearly a decade, there're plenty of expectations put on the 2009 Yankees roster. And in true Yankee fashion, the team answered the call, posting an impressive 103 win season while marching through the playoffs en route to a dominating World Series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Lead by the Capitan, Derek Jeter, who would surprise many doubters by posting arguably his most impressive year of his career finishing third in MVP voting, while winning a gold glove, silver slugger & the aforementioned World Championship. This game used sphere was used in the crucial turning point game for the Yankees, game 3 on October 31st. The Yankees would be tied 1-1 at that point before Jeter himself lead a rally in 5th which would see the Yankees take the lead 5-3 which would secure the game & series lead. Signed on the sweet spot by the Capitan commemorating his last ever World Series. Overall in fine condition. Authenticated by Steiner Sports & MLB authentication.
