3,000


I want to join with ripic and ndspinelli and Meade in congratulating the Captain on his 3,000 hit. A home run no less.

Class tells.

Well, it is a great achievement. Plus we won't have to hear about the countdown to 4,000 until like forever.

Congratulations to all you Yankees fans. Suck it, Red Sox fans. Oh yeah, the Mets suck.

I am a suffering Cubs fan. But, I am also a Yankees fan. I congratulate Derek Jeter on his 3000th hit and hopes he breaks more records as time goes on.

We need more people like Jeter who is now Mr. Baseball.

This is why baseball is such a great sport. Unlike guys trying to dribble a tire and dunk in it a basket or guys from Canada chasing a puck while doing double axels on skates.

Baseball is the greatest game in America. Derek Jeter made the sport proud today.

The next greatest sport, football, hopefully will start soon.

Kudos to Christian Lopez for having the same honor and class as the captain. And, gulp..to the Yanks for taking care of Lopez. Two of the biggest demographics for Yank fans are pr's and wops. And a pr and wop have caught the 2 biggest home runs in Yank history..karma.

The Gomez kid (he's actually not that young, 24 I believe) had a potential $300,000 or even $400,000 handed to him and he passed. I don't see that as honorable or classy. Like Jeter would have been deprived if the kid kept the ball? Jeter doesn't hesitate to monetize every possible asset. Jeter is co-signing with the Tampa Bay pitcher the historic pitching rubber, price $10,000. On-deck-circle rubber mat, signed by Jeter, price $5,000. His locker room chair, signed, $2,500 to $5,000. Fine by me. Jeter's making the most of the leverage his very special moment gave him. Why shouldn't the kid? When he calms down Gomez is going to have painful regrets. Rightfully so.

Well done, congratulations, and learn a lesson from Pete Rose. Or two.
