There is a good chance the Yankees will keep Derek Jeter. He's less than 100 hits from becoming the first Yankee ever to reach 3,000 hits. The contract negotiations are going to start soon and it's up to the Yankees how many years they want to offer him. I think the organization wants Derek to finish his career wearing the pinstripes.

Derek Jeter Card SigningYou can buy one on eBay or find a reputable dealer online. If you want to get one signed in person you could try your luck at the ballpark before the game starts. Sometimes players will sign autographs at the player entrance of the stadium or on the side lines during batting practice. Do a search on line for an autograph signing to see if Jeter is signing at any memorabilia shows. This will cost you money but, luck will be taken out of the equation.
