It’s 2 much 2 take.Derek Jeter has shattered baseball records and now his sandwich is going to shatter your gut.In honor of the legendary Yankee’s retirement, the legendary Carnegie Deli has introduced "The Derek Jeter Triple Club Sandwich" — a leaning tower of turkey, bacon, American cheese, tomato and lettuce on toasted white bread. 
"It has five ingredients because he won the World Series five times," explained Sarri Harper, the daughter of Carnegie owner Marian Levine. "And it has two meats because he was number 2."But like the game that made Jeter a hero, an entire team would need nine innings to finish the job of consuming this Dagwood.And if you try to eat it with your hands, you’ll commit more errors than Jeter did in 2010 — when he made all of six.The certain Hall of Famer feasted on Major League pitching for 20 years, but now Jeter’s competition will come from Woody Allen. The sandwich named after the comic, a pile of corned beef and pastrami, remains the deli's best seller, Harper said.At $28, the Jeter is three bucks more than the Woody Allen. It's also $3 more than the Big Macher Turkey Club, which is essentially a cheese-free version of the Jeter, which has the American slices because, said Harper, "nothing is more American than baseball."Yankee's fans welcomed the news that their hero had earned himself a place in the city's sandwich Pantheon."The heroic proportions are as heroic as he is," said Ben Treder, 31, originally from New Jersey but now living in Dublin. "Like Jeter, this sandwich asserts itself and would stand out on any menu."Sales of the Derek Jeter Triple Club Sandwich were no homerun on Monday, as most of the tourists eating at Carnegie went for regular pastrami, corned beef, Reubens and, yes, the Woody Allen.Harper said the Jeter would likely be offered for a limited time only — unless customers make it their Most Valuable Sandwich.
