New York Yankees fans have been treated to some poor baseball in recent weeks. The Aaron Boone-led team has struggled with injuries and poor form has plagued their roster. Missing team captain Aaron Judge has severely impacted their offense. But most recently, Yankees fans were treated to a blast from the past as rare souvenirs from Judge and Derek Jeter’s past surface.

Jeter is an icon for Bronx baseball fans due to his 20-year career with the Bombers. Judge, on the other hand, is still building his legacy as he looks likely to spend the rest of his career with the Yankees. These souvenirs from the two captains’ past have fans hyped.

Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter’s high school uniforms take fans down memory lane

High School is a formative period of development for baseball players, with some foregoing college entirely. Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter both played multiple sports during their careers at Linden High School and Kalamazoo Central High School, respectively. Most recently, Twitter user Mike Carbone shared a picture of the two Yankees captain’s High School jerseys side-by-side in a store. This has got fans excited with the blast from the past. 

In a Tweet, Carbone said, “This store is so cool. Never seen Judge or Jeter high school jerseys”. Jeter’s jersey has the number 13 on the back, which he wore in high school. But Judge’s jersey has the number 99, his Yankees number, instead of his actual high school number, which was 19.

The reactions from fans have been mixed, with mostly positive thoughts. 

Some fans were excited about the jerseys. 

Other fans pointed out that Judge has been wearing pinstripes since High School.

But it is a true walk down memory lane for both of them, with Judge having graduated more than 10 years ago and Jeter more than 30 years ago. Furthermore, it showcases a look at their past as they both work on moving forward in their respective careers.

Jeter returns to baseball while Judge continues his prolonged absence from it

Derek Jeter returned to baseball in a new role with his recent broadcasting debut. He joined the likes of Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz for the MLB London Series. Although fans were excited to see the three legends together, an iconic sports commentator was not impressed. Aaron Judge, on the other hand, continues to work his way back from a toe injury. The Yankees’ current captain tore a ligament in his right big toe while making a defensive play earlier this month. Although positive updates continue to come through, a return date has still not been specified.
