Pec peek at Jeter, A-Rod

These shirtless “Boys of Summer” sure know how to score — with the ladies.

A new exhibit called “Baseball Hotties: Studs We Love” at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Kentucky features some New York flavor: pinstriped playboys Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

Since it opened last month, “Baseball Hotties: Studs We Love” is attracting a record number of visitors to the museum — mostly women.

“It’s a big hit with them,” said museum director, Anne Jewell. “Derek Jeter is one of their favorites.”

Today, Jeter and A-Rod will be flexing their muscles in the first game of American League Division Series playoffs against the Orioles in Baltimore (TBS, 6:15 p.m.).

The Louisville exhibit features photos and memorabilia showcasing the sexier side of America’s pastime.

Besides the Yankee duo (A-Rod was a Seattle Mariner at the time), the photo — from a 1997 issue of Sports Illustrated — also includes now-retired shortstops Alex Gonzalez, Edgar Renteria and Rey Ordonez of the Mets.

The exhibit asks baseball fans across the country to cast their votes on who should complete the inaugural lineup of “Baseball Hotties Hall of Fame.”

Seven of the 10 all-time sexiest players that have already made the cut are Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Jim Palmer, Mike “King” Kelly, one of the game’s first star players from the 1800s — as well as Yankee captain Jeter.

Another part of the exhibit includes a huge laced blue bra once worn by Morganna “The Kissing Bandit” who was notorious for running onto the field and bussing major league players.

Visitors can also ogle an iconic 1970’s Jockey underwear ad modeled by Baltimore Orioles stud Jim Palmer.

“It was a memorable milestone in the history of baseball hotties,” said Jewell.

“It’s a walk back in history. It’s a fun, light-hearted look at good looking guys over the years in baseball and how trends and tastes have changed from the handlebar moustache to now,” Jewell added.

“We knew we couldn’t include everyone, we just picked representatives from each era,” she said, adding that among the 35 players there’s a photo of Ted Williams with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

But not every player has sacrificed their flies.

Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax, also part of the exhibit, keep their pants on.
