Congratulations to Derek Jeter, on becoming the 28th major leaguer -- and first who spent his entire career as a Yankee -- to reach 3000 hits. (For trivia buffs, 11 of the 28 members of Club 3000 played for just one club.) He did it in style!
The first player to reach 3000 going 5-for-5, Jeter is just the second player (onetime teammate Wade Boggs was the first) whose 3000th hit was a home run.
Only fitting for the man wearing #2, Yankee television voice Michael Kay noted that Jeter's historic blast came exactly as the Stadium clock struck 2:00. And, of course for a player who built his reputation on being clutch, his final hit of the game drove home the go-ahead run!
