"The Captain"

Another lifetime Yankee 'homer' here. Can you imagine being 6th in hits all time? ALL TIME! Amazing.

Got his 3400th hit in the 9th inning today.

The three highest hit totals by players whose careers were with a single team:

Jeter at home: 1693 hits - .315 ; away: 1712 hits - .307

Yaz at home: 1822 hits - .306 ; away: 1597 hits - .264

Musial at home: 1815 hits - .336 ; away: 1815 hits - .326

Thanks for the data. I wonder if any player with 3,000+ hits ever batted higher on the road than at home? I'm sure I could eventually find the info. but you seem to have this information more readily available than I do. Thanks for sharing.

I'll check on BaseballRefernce.Com on the individual player page, then click on splits, then career.

AARON, RIPKEN, WINFIELD, HENDERSON, & palmeiro* have done it.

DIMAGGIO & GEHRIG also did it, but finished with less than 3,000 hits.

Missing it by a single percentage point were MAYS & HORNSBY

Biggest home advantage - BOGGS at 52 points
Biggest home disadvantage - GEHRIG at 22 points

Thanks for the update. Interesting to see the biggest home advantage and disadvantage. Gehrig was a definite gamer on the road.
