Derek Jeter has been a New York Yankees favorite since he debuted as Rookie of the Year in 1995, and through the years he has proved himself as one of the best-hitting shortstops ever in Major League Baseball. This item, a game-used base from July 1st, 2004, was the base used in the play that would come to be known simply as "The Dive," and was voted as Play of the Year on MLB.com. The signature, in black Sharpie, reads "Derek Jeter 7-1-04 The DIVE." Showing great game use, this base is covered in dirt and dust from the field, and has its original MLB and Steiner holograms. This lot also comes with a ticket stub from that game, as well as an LOA.
