Derek Jeter 2011 Game Used Baseball Cleat
Jeter had become a super-star player soon after joining the Yankees, earning the American League Rookie of the Year Award during his first full season with the team (1996). In 2000, after Jeter became the 1st Yankee All-Star MVP and the Yankees went on to earn their third consecutive World Series Championship, Jeter was named the World Series MVP to become the only player in history to win both the All-Star Game MVP Award and the World Series MVP Award in the same year. Jeter's hard style of play and team spirit earned him All-Star status (14X), 5 Gold Glove Awards and 5 World Series rings earning the nicknames “Captain Clutch” and “Mr. November” for his postseason heroics before his retirement in 2014 having set a new record formerly held by Mickey Mantle for most games played as a Yankee and the Yankees career hits leader (3,465) surpassing all-time greats Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio.
This is a Derek Jeter game worn cleat worn during the 2011 season which is best remembered for the July 9th home game during which Jeter went 5 for 5 hitting a home run for his 3,000th career hit. This shoe is a size 11.5 “Jordan/ Jeter Cut” Nike high top left foot cleat worn by Jeter during this auspicious season. Adorned with the “Jumpman” Nike logo and Jeter’s uniform number “2” at the heel, the cleat shows ample evidence of heavy game use including remaining stadium dirt about the sole.
