Congratulations to Derek Jeter on his 3000th hit. First Yankee (or any member of a New York baseball franchise past or present) to reach 3000 hits in that uniform. And he did it with a home run at Yankee Stadium. Now that's the way to reach a milestone in style. He drove a 3-2 slider from Tampa's David Price into the second deck in left field at Yankee Stadium.
The game wasn't on live here, but I found the video at www.mlb.com. It was a truly goosebump raising moment in baseball history. Jeter joins Wade Boggs (who is a former Yankee who was a Tampa Bay Ray at the time) as the only two players to hit a home run for their 3000th hit.
