The countup to 3000 hits (2 Viewers)

Jeter isn't going to the All-Star game?? What's that about?

He is taking it easy.Said normally he would play through discomfort just to play and be out there, but wants to be smart about it now.Basically, he just wants the 3 day vacation.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I didn't realize that there are no other Yankees with 3000 hits. That's pretty shocking. Guess that's just the typical media overrating old Yankee players.

He realized that he didn't deserve to be there. Using "his injury" to bow out gracefully.

That was pretty awesome. I would have definitely given the ball back for nothing and would have had probably turned down the suite. I wouldn't want to go to the stadium every night

no way would i have given the ball back for free.Look, I love Jeter, but the dude lives a charmed life. He doesn't need the ball. If he made me a good offer, I'd prefer to sell it to him, but considering what it could probably fetch at auction, I'd have to take the cash. That cash could change my life. That ball will go up on Jeter's trophy case and collect dust like all his other awards.

Gotta give Righetti credit. First thing I thought of every time I heard people talking about this.

If anyone deserves the credit for J3K, it is him

Hard to believe no Yankees on the list.

Hits as a Yankee:1st - Derek Jeter - 2,9982nd - Lou Gehrig - 2,7213rd - Babe Ruth - 2,5184th - Mickey Mantle - 2,4155th - Bernie Williams - 2,3366th - Joe DiMaggio - 2,2147th - Don Mattingly - 2,1538th - Yogi Berra - 2,148You would think with all the Yankee greats someone would have gotten there.

Mattingly had constant injury issues late in his career.The rest of them won rings every year and retired early out of sheer boredom.

And Jeter could very well be the only one to get all 3000 as a Yankee, seeing as all current and future Yankees are overpriced mercenaries who will only be Yankees for the second half of their career.

Gehrig would have done it had he not been stricken with ALS. Mattingly could have done it. Cano (overpaid mercenary from the farm system) has an outside chance at it.

How many of the 3000 hit club got all 3000 hits with one team?

Jeter became the 11th.

I was shocked to hear ARod was only like 250 hits away

Cano down?

Yea, but nobody cares about him.

me 2 actually, don't know why, but I thought we were a few seasons away from him getting near.If he comes back this year healthy, he has an outside shot to get 3000 next year.

 

[Raider Nation]

894 more hits until 4K. Just sayin'...

Jeets is hitting almost .400 this year. Only a matter of time at this point.

 

[Raider Nation]

Jeter turns 38 tomorrow. He has 3,181 career hits, 11 more than Pete Rose had before his 38th birthday.

Do you think he can make the record?

No. It would be an unthinkable feat to surpass 4256. I do think he has an outside, outside shot at 4K though. Jeter is the kind of player who will never want to walk away. They're gonna have to rip his uniform off.

 

[Annyong]

the older this guy gets, the more i like him. swoon.

Tied Mays last night for 10th all time with hit #3,283

Pretty amazing.

Pretty amazing.

And all of those guys played at least 22 years, with Rose and Cobb playing 24 seasons. Jeter is finishing year 18. I predict he finishes third all time in hits, just passing Aaron and coming up short on 4000.

 

[Raider Nation]

All countups are on hold. Possibly for a very long time.

Get well Captain.

 

[Sarnoff]

3 months. Ouch.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Wow, thought he had a shot at top 5 all-time, now not so sure. Rose jinxed him when he said he didn't think he'd get the hit record.
