Jeter hits 3000
 

...bout damn time...slacker.

With AUTHORITY!

A home run too..

Amazing that he's the first Yankee to do it.

Not sure the criteria they use, since there' a couple Yankees in the 3,000 hit club

- Wade Boggs
- Dave Winfield
- Rickey Henderson

None of them are career Yankees and probably didn't get #3000 as a Yankee. It's an amazing feat and a testament to his consistency over the years.

Major props on this ... love how it happened, too.

Could happen to a classier guy !!!

.

5 for 5 today and hit a home run for his 3000th hit. the guy always has been clutch.

Wonder what that ball will be worth... :pimp

Hmm, okay then :pimp

5-5 and driving in the game winning run

and I was there

:thumbsup

3000 aint shit anymore with all these guys hopped up on the junk... :2 cents:

And he did it in style: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/s...n.html?_r=1&hp

The criteria is getting 3000 hits as a Yankee. Not getting the 3000th hit in a Yankee uniform. For example most of Boggs hits came as a member of the Red Sox. Winfield only got 1300 hits as a Yankee. Henderson only got 663 hits as a Yankee. The majority of his hits came as a member of the A's.

Ok first getting a hit is different than hitting a HR. Steriods make you hit FARTHER not more often. Second no one is hopped on on anything anymore since MLB has instituted drug testing a few years ago. Thirdly only 28 guys have hit 3000 hits or more. Jeter is only the 4th one to do it in the last 10 years. 9 guys did it in the 90's and they certainly weren't on steriods since their careers mostly began in the 1970's or early 80's.

the testing is a joke...

i do pilates with his wife and i see her shooting the juice all the time in the bathroom...

they're all on the junk now, even the wives.... :2 cents:

Well he's getting bad juice since he only has 3 HR this year and 10 last year. In fact he hasn't hit more than 19 in a year since 2004.

Um....Great?

He is a stud.
