It will be one of the things that we will remember for years,,, you will be able to say that you watched Derek Jeter play .... the guy has down nothing but hustle, and our hustle his competition,, he works harder than anyone else on the team,,, A-rod, and Tex, are right up there with the big time work ethic also,,, so it must be a whole lot easier to manage a team when the guy that the Captain, works so hard, takes extra infield, and batting practice,, just what are the other guys gonna say ??? anyway,, Jeter will be going to Cooperstown one day, but for now,, he remains the Yankee Captain, an ambassador to the game ,,, a guy who spreads around the Kudos when they are available, and takes the blame on his shoulders when they lose,,,, ,,,,

SEATTLE (AP) Yet another Hall of Famer passed and milestone reached for Yankees captain Derek Jeter.
Jeter passed Luis Aparicio for most hits by a shortstop on Sunday when he fought off a pitch on his hands from Seattle rookie Doug Fister and sent it down the right-field line for an RBI double in the third inning of New York's 10-3 loss to the Mariners. His 2,674th hit as a shortstop came two innings after he had singled leading off the game.
"I just try to be consistent year in and year out," said the 35-year-old Jeter, who claimed to be unaware of the record coming into the weekend. "If you are consistent, good things happen.
"It's kind of hard to believe, to say the least."
He had eight hits in 16 at-bats in the four-game series with the Mariners.
Jeter also has 13 hits as a designated hitter in his career. His 2,688 hits are second in Yankees history, 33 behind Lou Gehrig.
