Yankees game used equipment of any kind is by far the most difficult to obtain, hands down. The items that do manage to escape the watchful eye of Ol' George usually come from utility players and others whose careers were, for the lack of a better word, unremarkable. This undeniable truth is what makes this offering so extraordinary. Presented is Derek Jeter's gray "road" jersey worn by "The Captain" during the 2004 regular season. Across the front in navy-on-white, tackle-twill block letters is, "New York" and on back his number "2" in the same exact style. Plain, simple, and to the point, the way it’s always been. From Ruth to Gehrig, DiMaggio to Mantle, Munson to Mattingly, America’s team never needed flashy uniforms or gimmicks, their play said it all. Besides, if gaudy is a prerequisite you seek, just look at the all-time record, and of course......the jewelry. The garment is manufactured by Russell Athletic-Authentic Collection with their tagging on the front tail, with [size] "48" and "2"" Extra Length" flag tags affixed below, as well as a "2004" year tag. DJ certainly put time into this one and its above average use can be seen in the form of puckering on both the number and lettering. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a true piece of modern baseball history!
