smzimbabwe Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Derek Jeter, second SS to get his 3,000 hit, first was Honus Wagner.He was also the second SS to get his 2999, 2998, 2997, 2996, 2995, and so on down the line. Didn't see any fuss about that...To me, 3001 will be more impressive than 3000. With 3001, he'll move past someone, with 3000, he may have tied Clemente, but it's no different than 2999, and so on...

mania Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 And he's still "decent" in the field. No, he really isn't. On his best days, he's poor. On his worst days... he's the worst regular SS in baseball.

NJTank Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 His range is not good, but Jeter is a good fielder he makes every play he gets to, there are some true butchers at Short. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Congrats Derek, what an unlikely way for him to get it. The crowd was going absolutely crazy.Just wait until they remember that Jeter's overpaid and can't field. Hater.No arguments here. It's still true, though.

Lights Out Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 His range is not good, but Jeter is a good fielder he makes every play he gets to, there are some true butchers at Short.Negative rGDP. Negative rPM. Negative UZR. Jeter is far below the league average in saving runs no matter what stat you look at. That's the opposite of making plays, and that's not good fielding./SABARMATRIKS R EVUL! POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The guy who caught the ball gave it back the Yankees, for Suite tickets for every single game from now till "The World Series". Front row tix for tomorrows game, and signed jerseys and bats, and baseballs.If he put it on eBay how much do you think he would of gotten for it?

rams80 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Jeter should retire immediately, and open a chain of businesses under the "Mr. 3000" moniker. And then he should discover a clerical error left him at 2997 hits.

Most people do.Well, most people like bright shiny objects too apparently. Please explain the significance of a nice round number to me. I'm not wowed by a number just because it has a lot of zeroes in it. He tied Clemente, great. But all this "first Yankee to 3000, second SS to 3000, 28th player to 3000, etc." could also be applied to 2999. That has a lot of nines in it...Other than being 1 more than 2999 and tying Clemente on the all time hit list, what is so significant about it?

pmoehrin Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I just find it incredible that given all the greats that have suited up for the Yankees, none of them got 3000 hits with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
