I picked this one up awhile ago, but been lax on getting posted.

The bat went into use on Sept.9th, when it was used for his Career Home Run #255. For the moment, last of his career.
The bat is matched to being in use until Sept. 15th when it was cracked and taken out of play.
Jeter collected 8 total hits with the bat (home run and a double), career hits # 3,278 thru 3,285. He also had 6 RBIs, # 1,244 thru 1,249.
As a side note, in these games he passed Mel Ott into 13th place on the All-Time Runs Scored list.
On Sept. 13th he tied Willie Mays on the hit list. Then on Sept 14th (also the birthday for my two daughters), he passed Willie Mays to move into 10th Place on the All-Time Hit List.
It has really great use overall, as Jeter seemed to max out the bat with the wear and tear on it.

Great use, excellent photomatches, & best of all a terrific history! Congrats on another super Jeter bat, Ben!
