It’ll cost you, Yankees fans, but here’s your chance to own the biggest piece of Derek Jeter memorabilia — ever.

The team captain’s childhood home in Kalamazoo, Mich., is going on the market for $140,000 in a matter of weeks, the owners told The Post.

“I love this house,” said Kelly Mohamed, 47, a supermarket clerk who paid $110,000 for the modest blue and gray split-level in 2001.

She’s lived at 2415 Cumberland St. in an unassuming, middle-class neighborhood with husband, Mikael, 50, ever since.

“I loved it from the first time I walked through the door, but I want something warm now; we’re moving to Georgia,” Kelly said.

Jeter developed his rocket-powered arm throwing balls off the side of the house — until one of his parents or his sister would come out to play with him.

He also formed his clutch swing on a hitting contraption that his dad, Charles, set up in the home’s one-car garage.

“The people that sold us the house were really excited to tell us that he had lived here as a boy,” Kelly said.

“Honestly, at the time we didn’t even know who he was.”

Neither did her husband.

“I’m more of a football fan,” explained Mikael. “49ers all the way!”

The cozy 2,000-square-foot house, which features a flowering tree and a telephone pole in front, could probably fit inside the living room of Jeter’s current home, an $8 million, 31,000-square-foot palace in Tampa, Fla.

The home’s large back yard borders Kalamazoo Central High School’s baseball diamond and Jeter would simply hop over a 5-foot, chain-link fence to shag fly balls.

Years later, the same field would be swarming with major-league scouts sizing up the future all-star.

Twenty years ago, the Jeter family still lived on Cumberland Street when he signed with the Yankees for $800,000.

Four years later, in 1996, Jeter joined the Yankees’ starting lineup and won the first of his five World Series rings with the team.
