The Derek Jeter Thread

[RickD]

Batting .390 after the first hit in the game today! Jeter continues to re-invent himself, focusing on how to improve his game every year.

Here is something I found interesting. John & Suzy just said that Jeter is the first Yankees player to get 50 hits in the first 30 games of the season.

With all the great players the Yankees have had, that is quite the accomplishment.

Betcha all the Jeter haters, hate putting that in their pipe and smoking it.

He just seems to get better the older he gets.

With 2 hits last night, Derek Jeter is now tied with Tony Gwynn for 18th all-time in career hits (3,141)

The way Jeter is currently playing, he could conceivably, though highly unlikely, reach Rose's hits record.

Derek Jeter tied George Brett on the all-time hits list with 3,154 career hits.

Nice. I will be very sad when his career is done.
