New York Yankees fans will appreciate this commemorative baseball stadium artwork on a baseball. Rumor has it Derek Jeter has a whole sock drawer of these puppies.
Brett Gardner takes his frustration out on his bat after striking out Sunday night to end the game versus the Orioles. What ever happened to the good ol’ fashion break the bat over the knee routine?
Epic photo of the day: Derek Jeter collects his 3,000th hit, a home run to left field.

You gotta love the attention to detail that Nike brings to the table for an event such as Derek Jeter’s 3000th hit. Sock liners!?! Brilliant.
The day before his first day of high school, Derek signed his first contract…drafted by his father. It included a list of tasks and chores that would help elevate him as not just a ballplayer, but also as a person. That very contract is replicated and engraved in its entirety on both sock liners.More DJ3K gear swag.

The latest installment/bruhaha in the New Era Baldwin-Krasinski battle celebrating the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox has escalated to violence. To summarize, Krasinski takes one on the chin from Baldwin’s plummer hands. Can’t wait for the rubber match.
![“It’s almost sad to see how fast [Jeter] has lost it. Everything looks slow, soft, old. I hate saying it, because everyone respects Derek. But it’s true.” — An American League scout, quoted by Bob Klapisch of the Bergen Record.
There is no doubt Derek Jeter will go down as one of the best Yankees of all-time, but has the time come for Captain Clutch to say goodbye?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkmse1qcDX1qaepjeo1_1280.jpg)

Finding himself wandering through a “Field of Dreams” like cornfield, Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia follows the whispers of “Zero calories, maximum Pepsi taste…” and discovers a smorgasbord of Hall of Famers and an unlimited supply of Pepsi Max. Score!

Yankees catcher Russell Martin is sporting orange nail polish tonight versus the Jays. No word yet if it’s due to A.J. Burnett’s lack of vision, or it’s just Martin’s way of glaming it up a little. Either way, fancy.

Gillette recently unveiled a tremendous “Everyday Masterpiece” OOH campaign in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood that features a Derek Jeter billboard being repainted daily to reflect the various stages of men’s grooming.
For three days, the larger than life Derek Jeter face went through a three-stage transformation: Stubbly Jeter, shave-prepped Jeter and finally Minka Kelly-date night Jeter. “Ch-ch-ch-chia!”
