Derek approaches the Iron Horse.

Derek Jeter will pass Lou Gerhig on the all time Yankee list for hits tonight. Jeter is well on his way to 3000 and has an outside shot at 4000. No Yankee ever had 3000 hits as a Yankee. So this will be a first and it is fitting that the captain will do it.

Most people really don't appreciate Jeter, and the Met and Red Sox fans love to run him down and say he is overrated. But real Yankee fans know that he is part of the heart and soul of the Yankees and is without doubt the most important player on the team. He sets the tone.

He is a true Yankee.
