Derek Jeter Rookie Signed Charles Fazzino Hand Painted Pop Art Baseball JSA COA
$4,995.00
Absolutely stunning Charles Fazzino one-of-a-kind painted baseball signed and inscribed on the sweet spot by legendary New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter during the 1st year of his Hall of Fame career. This special Mickey Mantle Day baseball was signed by Jeter in 1996 along with his #2 inscription. Fazzino is known for his silkscreen serigraphs in a 3D pop art style. He is an innovative and imaginative storyteller and is the Master of 3-D Pop Art. His "art baseballs" are extremely coveted by collectors and this rare ball boasting one of the most sought-after signatures in the history of sport, combined with the original Fazzino masterpiece, make this a must have item for the most discerning collectors. Jeter will forever be known by Yankee fans as "The Captain". His list of career accomplishments is astonishing. Jeter was a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2020 (he received 396 of 397 possible votes, the second-highest percentage in MLB history (behind only teammate Mariano Rivera) and the highest by a position player). The thing that makes this Jeter-Fazzino art ball especially unique is that Jeter signed this ball during the 1996 season, his rookie year.
A five-time World Series champion with the Yankees, Jeter is regarded as a central contributor to the franchise's dynasty during the late 1990s and early 2000s for his hitting, base-running, fielding, and leadership. He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), games played (2,747), stolen bases (358), times on base (4,716), plate appearances (12,602) and at bats (11,195).[1] His accolades include 14 All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, five Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and a 2009 Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter was the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits and finished his career ranked sixth in MLB history in career hits and first among shortstops. In 2017, the Yankees retired his uniform number 2. Accompanied by JSA and Charles Fazzino Letters of Authenticity.
