2,722
Thought I'd send out a quick update congratulating Derek Jeter on passing Lou Gehrig on the Yankees all-time hits list with his 2,722 hit. It gave me goosebumps seeing the ball roll past the 1st baseman and Jeter reaching safely on 1st. It's a great time to be a Yankees fan, and an honor to see such a great player and person breaking these records cleanly. Jeter is one of those all-time Yankee greats and it's been amazing seeing him play all these years. While everyone else got to see Gehrig play, we get to see Jeter play.
Today the Yankees hope to spare themselves embarrassment by avoiding a sweep by the lowly Orioles. CC takes the mound and will surely pitch better than Burnett and hopefully our offense decides to show up. The Yanks have a 7.5 lead in the division, but lead the Angels by only 5 games in the race for the best record and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Tomorrow the Yankees play one game against the Angels that was rained out and then play 2 games against Toronto.
Keep the wins coming!!
