Well ,,, well,,,3 for 4 and a TIE at the top with the Iron Horse !
You are watching history in the making,,, put you face - touch your nose right on to a painting ,,, can't see it real well huh,,, but as you back away , it becomes clear,,,, and you realize that you might be staring at the Mona Lisa,,,, I think that we have watched this guy day after day,,, we are so close that we forget actually how good he is,,,, and not only what a terrific Hall of Fame player Derek is,,, but never a misspoken word,,, always praise for his team mates,, and peers,,, and the ultimate respect for those who came before him....
Witness what I think was his greatest play ,, the "FLIP" that put out Jeremy Giambi in that playoff game between Oakland and the Yankees,,, where Jeter was between Home plate, and 1st,, intercepted a wayoff the line throw, and "flipped" it backwards to Posada who tagged out Giambi,,,, After the game Derek is asked what he was doing backing up a play on the other side of the field,,,What was the Shortstop doin way over there ??
What does he say,,,, "Mr Torre has us practice that play all the time" !
