To me the story adds the value rather than Jeter himself.

Thanks for sharing. I knew that Kyle owned it, and I had seen the video, but I never knew the story in context.

Congrats on an awesome pickup!

I'm still confused how Derek Jeter just touching the bat adds value to it?

Yankees' Jeter Fields Broken Bat

AP , Associated Press AP News Archive Oct. 26, 2000 10:28 PM ET
NEW YORK (AP) _ When a shattered bat head spun toward Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, he knew exactly what to do: anything but throw it.

In Game 5 of the World Series on Thursday night, Mets shortstop Kurt Abbott broke his bat when he fouled off a pitch from Yankees starter Andy Pettitte in the fourth inning.

Making light of the Roger Clemens-Mike Piazza bat-throwing controversy from Game 2, Jeter fielded the broken bat as if it were a ball. The ball actually went into the stands along the first-base line.

Jeter, with a wry smile on his face, scooped up the bat head with his glove and slowly handed it to the Mets' batboy. The crowd roared, recalling the play from Game 2.

Fans then began chanting ``Roger, Roger'' as Clemens sat stone-faced in the Yankees dugout. Piazza smiled in his team's dugout.

At Yankee Stadium on Sunday night, Piazza broke his bat hitting a pitch from Clemens and a chunk of wood shot out toward the mound. Clemens picked it up and threw it toward Piazza, who had started to trot up the first-base line.

Both benches emptied, but no punches were thrown in what could end up being the most memorable moment of the Subway Series.

For me it's been a great 2012, collecting wise...

But hands down, my top 2012 purchases has to be my Nike Atlanta Falcons Roddy White & Julio Jones jerseys from the October 7th game vs the Redskins. Trying to get a nice copy of this photo match to display w/ the pair.

I'd like to keep the details of the transaction between Kyle and myself confidential. Let's just say we both were very satisfied with our deal and I'm forever grateful to Kyle for selling it to me.

Awesome acquisition. How much did you pay, if you don't mind my asking?

Game used photomatched Fred Jackson jersey from the 08 season. The picture doesn't do it justice.
