Yankees' Jeter Reaches 2,000 Hits


NEW YORK (AP) -- Derek Jeter got his 2,000th career hit Friday night, becoming the eighth player in New York Yankees history to reach the milestone.
Jeter beat out a roller in front of home plate in the fourth inning against the Kansas City Royals and advanced to second when catcher Paul Bako threw the ball away for an error.
With the Yankee Stadium crowd chanting his


name, Jeter twice tipped his cap as he stood on second base. He stole third on the next pitch and scored New York's first run on Alex

Rodriguez's single.
"He's not a numbers guy," Yankees manager Joe Torre said before the game. "I don't think he'll be comfortable with any delay. He'll want to get the show on the road."
The 31-year-old Jeter is in his 12th major league season. The other players to get 2,000 hits for the Yankees are Lou Gehrig (2,721), Babe Ruth (2,518), Mickey Mantle (2,415), Bernie Williams (2,255 entering Friday night), Joe DiMaggio (2,214), Don Mattingly (2,153) and Yogi Berra (2,148).

Do hits against the Royals count?

It's sad to see a good franchise do so poorly.

Big congrats to Jeter, even though he is gay.

Nomar is actually having a fantastic comeback season with the Dodgers and is probably the early favorite for Comeback Player of the Year. He's playing first base. Last I checked, he was hitting around .360. His start to the season was delayed by an anjury (not sure what the injury was).

I haven't seen him play, it must be strange seeing him at first.
Good guy.

Oh, I see..so he isn't getting any anymore.

Sort of like Nuke rechannelling his sexual energy in Bull Durham.

I think Mia is a robo-babe.
