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

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









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.

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!

1989 Frank White home jersey is one of my favorite additions in a year that I I did not do much buying...

Congrats, Shaun! Bagwell for HOF.

Its crazy that he is not in. They are actually keeping him out because of rumors that he may have done roids. Crazy.

I had a couple nice pickups, but my favorite is my SCSU Ryan Lasch jersey I got as a graduation gift (and purchased it off a board member).
