Description

A memorable career and a memorable final game... "Derek Jeter Farewell", New York Yankees' Shortstop.   Framed piece includes two (2) photos, a ticket and a patch.


The date: September 28, 2104 Jeter's final game.  "Yankee's 6-5 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, Boston.  With his teammates lining the top step of the dugout and standing on dugout benches to get a good view, Derek Jeter chopped an infield single to third baseman Garin Cecchini on the fourth pitch of his second at-bat Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park. With a simple gesture, his 20-year career came to a close.  With Jeter on first base, manager Joe Girardi looked over for a sign. Jeter, following the plan Girardi laid out before the game, gave the signal. Brian McCann trotted out from the Yankees dugout to pinch-run, bringing to an end Jeter's 20-year major league career.  On his way off the field....As he reached the dugout, he tipped his cap and waved to the Fenway crowd, exchanged hugs with his teammates. And then he was gone."


Jeter's RBI single: The line drive was the 3,465th hit of his career and managed to bump his lifetime average from .309 to .310!


Framed size: 20 x 30
