Derek Jeter is back on top.
The Yankees shortstop topped Major League Baseball’s list of top-selling jerseys for the second year in a row, baseball announced earlier this week.
The list was based on sales from the 2011 calendar year.
The Yankees have three other players in the top 20. The Philadelphia Phillies also have four players who made the list of top 20 popular jerseys in the MLB. Both teams had the best record in their respective leagues last season.
New York’s other hometown team didn’t do so well. No Mets players cracked the list.
Falling behind Jeter was Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee and Albert Pujols, who is now with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Josh Hamilton placed fourth and Roy Halladay, fifth.
Nine infielders, five pitchers, four outfielders and two catchers made the list.
The Yankees’ Mariano Rivera was the only relief pitcher to make the top 20.
Seven players who didn’t crack the list in 2010, made it this time around. Those players include: Robinson Cano, Carl Crawford, Justin Verlander, David Freese, Adrian Gonzalez, Hunter Pence and Rivera.
Fourteen players on the list were on teams that advanced to the postseason last year.
