As the retirement tour continues, Jeter will get a bronzed Yankees hat, thanks to New Era. Here's more info:

New Era CEO Chris Koch will be presenting Derek Jeter with a one-of-a-kind bronzed version of the New Era 59FIFTY cap affixed with the Jeter sidepatch that the team is currently wearing.

Koch will also be presenting Jeter’s TURN 2 Foundation with a check for $22,222.

A different view of the bronzed cap:

This marks the first ever New Era bronzed cap.

In related news, Jeter homered Thursday, marking his first home run of the season in Yankee Stadium. Maybe he'll go out with a bang.
