Default 3000 for Jeter

And he did it with a home run...that means a fan has the ball!

Now, I'm sure Jeter wants the ball, and I know it's gonna have a high cash value. Any guesses what the Yankees will offer the fan for it? You know they're gonna make an offer. Lifetime season tickets possibly?

Well what do you do....be the good guy that gives Jeter the ball for a few autographed items (bats, balls, jersey, etc)....or tell Jeter he can fight it out in a REA auction?

Jeter has always been a class act and by all accounts a great teammate. He is a surefire, first-ballot HOFer and I'm glad I was watching when he got #3000

I was surprised to hear that of the 28 players to hit 3000 he is only the 2nd to do it with a HR and Wade Boggs is the other. Two guys not known as HR hitters. Gotta love the oddities of baseball!

It will probably take more than 100K to pry it loose.

I was going to say 250K plus, I'm sure if Steinbrenner was still around he would want it too and the negotiations would already been started in his luxary box

Congrats to Jeter

I also believe he is the ONLY player ever to get his 3000th hit in any Yankee Stadium.

A triple away. Any chance he cycles in this game? If then, which ball would be worth more? 3000? or the triple for the cycle?

Obviously, this is hypothetical because the triple would never reach the public. But then again, 3000 never will now either. If there is a triple for the cycle, and it somehow reaches the general public. Would it fetch anywhere near what 3000 would have?

I would think the 3000th hit ball. By a lot.

The fan who caught it is a class act too. He said he wanted nothing for the ball, just for Jeter to have it. He said Jeter earned it and deserved it.

A Google search for the highest prices ever paid for a baseball showed:

Mark McGwire 70th Home Run Ball (1998) - $3,005,000

Babe Ruth All-Star Game Home Run Ball (1933) - $805,000

Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run ball (2007) - $752,467

Henry Aaron's 755th Home Run Ball (1976) - $650,000

Bonds' 73rd - $517,500

Murray's 500th - $500,000

Mantle's 500th - $250,000

McGwire's 500th - $250,000

Barry Bonds' Home run No. 755, the ball that tied the record (2007) - $186,750

Sosa's 66th - $175,000

Sammy Sosa's 66th homer (1999) - $172,500

Ruth's first at Stadium - $130,000

Fisk's Series shot - $120,000

Steve Bartman's foul ball that Chicago fans believe cost the Cubs a trip to the 2003 World Series was bought by someone who plans to destroy it (2003) - $106,600


I'm a huge fan of the Yankees and Jeter, but sorry, there's no way I would've given the baseball back.

It's safe to say that Jeter is the first player to go 5 for 5 on the day he got his 3000th hit. What a memorable game!

Oops...Biggio did it. I guess Jeter will have to bat one more time.

The pressure Jeter had and the clutch he came through with goes down second to none !

To get your 3000th on a day like that...is just incredible. 5-5? HR for 3000? Game winning hit? Unreal.

I think Ruth would be the obvious #1 in Yankees history. He brought them their first title in 1923, and for that one, he didn't much help then either. I would say, IMHO, that that the greatest Yankees are:

(1) Babe Ruth
(2) Mickey Mantle
(3) Lou Gehrig
(4) Joe Dimaggio
(5) Yogi Berra
(6) Derek Jeter

Just got back from the Yankee game with 2 of my sons and my wife, something I'll never forget. Pure pandemonium. As soon as the ball left the bat everyone in the stadium knew it was gone. I was in right field in the second tier perfect view, I'll see that ball arcing in my dreams. It was great!!!!!

Hard to imagine a better day for Jeter. Really fitting for the guy.

As for the top 6 Yankees of all time, I agree with the names listed above just not perhaps the order. Ruth, Gehrig, DiMag, Mantle, Berra and then Jeter.

Fun fact: Molitor is the only guy to get a triple for his 3,000's hit. Jeter being the greatest Yankee of all time is rediculous. He's a .300 hitter with minimal power and very overrated at SS. He's a great player, but Ruth / Gehrig / Mantle are top 3 Yanks of all time with Dimaggio possibly sneaking in there somewhere. Yanks have 1 title in the past 10 years, same as the Chisox / Marlins / Cardinals. Yanks were the team of the 90's, not 2000's. Boston has 2 in the 2000's, that's got to hurt the true Yankee fans out there.

Great game for Jeter. I think some are getting caught up in the moment though. He has been an incredible hitter in the post-season, but he is not the reason the Yankees won their rings. Without Mariano Rivera (under a 1.00 ERA in the post-season), Andy Pettite (19-10) and crazy as it sounds, Orlando Hernandez, Jeter's post-season numbers wouldn't amount to any rings.

My top five Yankees:

1. Gehrig
2. Ruth
3. Dimaggio
4. Mantle
5. Mariano Rivera

Someone back there said Dimaggio was over-rated but had a nice swing. I couldn't disagree more. He finished his career with 361 home runs and 369 strikeouts. Pretty incredible hitter.

I think I can agree with that list, although I'd swap Mantle and Dimaggio.. To me the only reason that Gehrig is 1st ahead of Ruth is because Ruth was bought by the Yankees, rather than being a true product of the Yankees. Whitey might be very close to Mariano.. And Berra's right there too. At best Jeter might rank 8 on my list, possibly lower, if I were to give it some serious thought.

This is my top ten Yankees list:

1. Gehrig
2. Ruth
3. Dimaggio
4. Mantle
5. Mariano Rivera
6. Yogi Berra
7. Whitey Ford
8. Bill Dickey
9. Derek Jeter
10. Bernie Williams

Had he not gotten hurt, I believe Don Mattingly would be right up there under Mo.

About Ruth not being #1, they practically named their stadium after him ... Also, Rivera and Jeter have a fat ZERO regular season MVP's and Cy Young's between them. Mantle, Berra, and DiMaggio all have 3 MVP's each. Gehrig has 2 and Ruth has one.

Here are the # of rings as a Yankee (and appearing in that WS): Berra (10), Dimaggio (9), Mantle (7), Gehrig (6), Ruth (4), Jeter (5), Rivera (5)

Mariano Rivera might not have any league MVPs, but can you think of a more valuable player to have on your team than him? I'd take him with my number 1 pick of the entire league if I had one.

I rank Gehrig as number 1 because there is no telling what numbers he would have put up had he not gotten sick. I don't know the details of ALS, but assuming he had his last fully healthy season at age 34 and had never had a significant injury in his career, there were untold numbers of seasons he never got to play.

Default 3000 for Jeter

I would pretty much agree with Gary's order of greatest Yankees. A fantastic day for Jeter! Comparisons from the different eras are extremely hard. Where are the Bruces?

Agreed people are getting caught up....in the past !!! Seriously not fair to call Ruth the greatest Yankee as he might be the greatest to ever play in all of baseball. If Jeter isn't an MVP, who is ? All the listed Yankees are great and very tough to compare or put in any order it's all a matter of opinion.

Just got back from the game. It was absolutely incredible - I actually was in "The Perfect Game" suite with Graig Nettles, Mickey Rivers and a few other former Yankees (and right next to the suite where Derek's father and Minka Kelly were). Very interesting to see the players reactions, especially Nettles - he was so locked in on the game and kept saying it was incredible.

Edited to add, Minka Kelly is gorgeous.

I was at the game as well. I brought my six year old. I was holding him steady as he stood on the seat to get a better view, and then when it was up, I lifted him up on my shoulders and we jumped around together (carefully enough). For what it was worth, I didnt think it was gone off the bat. I think I was thinking it was maybe a double or going to be a nice catch by the left fielder. But it just kept carrying.

Our seats were in the sun, about a zillion degrees, and so after the pandemonium died down, we went to the gift shop, got some hats and shirts, and then headed home. I saw hits 4 and 5 on my sofa.

Really cool experience...

I bought a buddy of mine tickets for a Yankee game this season. I asked him which game he wanted. Reply: "Jeter's 3000th hit game". Thanks, that'll be easy to choose...So, I look at the stats and schedule and take a shot. He'll be at the game tomorrow.

Funny thing is I was getting a lot of grief (good-natured) about the game I chose right up until Jeter strained his calf. A glimmer of hope. Then, looking at it this week it still seemed to be a long shot, until the rain out last night. Finally some optimism, then 5-5. Doh!

I can't put Jeter at the top of the all-time Yankee list. How can you push Ruth, Gehrig and Mantle aside? But I would offer up that Jeter is right there as far as best player in the game for his era. I'm setting steroid freaks aside, of course, and placing a high value on all of The Captain's intangibles.

One of the last 2 is even more accurate.

Well, since this seems to have turned into a top 5 all time Yankee list, I will add one as well. The player must have been on the Yankees for a significant period of his career to be considered. (e.g. no Rickey Henderson or Roger Clemens)

1. Babe Ruth
2. Lou Gehrig
3. Mariano Rivera
4. Alex Rodriguez
5. Derek Jeter

Default Witnessing History

We had tickets for Friday's game. Needless to say were were a bit bummed with the rainout. The tickets we had for Friday, however, were not bought. My son-in-law got them from a work associate. As it turned out, that work associate was using the tickets for those seats on Saturday, but he gave us others that actually turned out better. Field level, but out of the sun. Seeing it unfold in person was unbelievable. 3000th hit, a 5-hit game, the winning RBI and a Yankee win. The kid who caught the ball was very honest and classy. It was basically a perfect day. The only bummer was the line for Monument Park was too long, so my daughters didn't get to see it.

I can only imagine how much extra income the team made yesterday from Jeter commemorative merchandise. I estimate it was at least $2 million. We spent $80 on two t-shirts and a magazine and most of the 48,000+ people there had at least that much stuff.

Who went to something like 15 games in a row trying to see Yaz get #3000.
My parents put an end to that the day he finally did it, so I missed by one day.

I can't see ranking Jeter ahead of Ruth Gehrig Dimaggio or Mantle, or ARod if he's been a Yankee long enough to be part of the discussion. But he's right at the top of the next tier.
