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

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.

Great pics!
What a wonderful day for everyone, fans and players alike. from this Red Sox fan, congratulations to all! Steve B 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.

Arod had three good playoff games and did get his ring but not sure how he could even be in the discussion, he has been more of a burden than team player.
