HIT# 3000 BY JETER A HOME RUN

   At exactly 2 PM in the third inning of the game against Tampa Bay Derek Jeter hit a home run off Tampa Bay pitcher Daviv Price for hit # 3,000. In the first inning Jeter got hit # 2,999 a single, and with hit # 3,000 a home run Jeter tied the game at one all.

   Derek Jeter becomes the 28th player to reach the 3,000 hit mark, and is only the 11th player to do it with just one team. Craig Biggio was the last player to hit his 3,00th hit while only playing for the Houston Astros. Jeter becomes the first Yankee to hit 3,000 hits, and is assured aplace not only in Yankee history, but also the Baseball Hall of Fame.

   What will be the final number of hits that Jeter will attain before he retires? We can only guess that Jeter will now go for 3,500 hits.
