Passing DiMaggio

Derek Jeter picked up three hits tonight, including a triple to lead off the seventh. That ties him, and then puts him two hits past the Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio. Jeter now ranks fifth on the Yankees all time hit list, a list headed by Lou Gehrig with 2721. At 2216, Derek is about 2 1/2 seasons off that number. Barring injury, he'll be the first Yankees player to reach 3000 hits with the team.
