One of the best Yankees in years is back in the battle. Derek Jeter has now tied Lou Gehrig’s top hit mark as a Yankee. Last night against the Rays, he got a single, which was an exciting moment. He hardly noticed that it was a big moment, though he joked later that he had been working hard to get that record. He walked in the 8th, so he didn’t break the record. But he will in the next few days, we’re pretty sure of it. Gehrig is perhaps the most celebrated Yankee of all time, although players like Ruth and Mantle are right up there too. But now Jeter is much closer to being put in that category, though he’s not a player that people are so excited about; just a very consistent worker is all.
