Steiner Sports To Capture Derek Jeter's Historical 2,722nd Hit With
Commemorative Record-Breaking Autographed Collection


NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of Derek Jeter
eclipsing Lou Gehrig for the Yankees all-time hits record last Friday, Steiner
Sports Memorabilia, the industry leader in authentic hand-signed collectibles,
will be offering fans a wide array of customized products that celebrate this
historic achievement.

Jeter will be autographing balls, photos and jerseys that will include the
"2,722" and "9/11/09" engravings.  Steiner Sports will also be producing
engraved limited edition bats signed by Jeter.

Several items from the Yankees-Steiner Collectibles line will commemorate the
record-breaking hit, including the game-used bases and a framed autographed
photo with Yankee Stadium dirt affixed to the picture.  In addition, fans who
attended the game can send their tickets in to be framed in a commemorative
collage.

"For over a decade, our exclusive relationship with Derek Jeter has given us
the opportunity to offer fans products that celebrate Derek's memorable
moments," said Brandon Steiner, founder and CEO of Steiner Sports.  "We're
pleased to provide mementos that truly capture a milestone in both Derek's
career and in Yankees history."

A portion of proceeds on the sale of all Derek Jeter collectibles benefit The
Turn 2 Foundation,  which creates and supports signature programs and
activities that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and
"Turn 2" healthy lifestyles.  Through the years, Steiner Sports has helped to
generate nearly $3 million for the foundation.
