Derek Jeter reached his milestone by becoming only the second player to hit a home run for his 3,000th hit. Wade Boggs was the other. Incredibly, Jeter is the only Yankee to hit 3,000, considering a franchise which had Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth,Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson. Jeter becomes the 11th mayor league player to hit all 3,000 with only one team.
Next up is Mariano Rivera. If he hits 30 saves, it will be a league leading 9 consecutive years when he has had 30 or more saves, a league record.
