Going into tonight’s game against the Texas Rangers, Derek Jeter needed 3 hits to pass Carl Yastrzemski for 7th place on the All-Time hits list. He did just that with 2 singles and a double off Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish, giving Jeter 3,420 career hits. Jeter is now 10 hits away from passing Honus Wagner for 6th place on the All-Time hits list.

What Derek Jeter has done throughout his career has been remarkable.

Passing former Boston Red Sox Slugger Carl Yastrzemski on the All-Time hits list adds to Derek Jeter’s first ballot Hall of Fame Career. On April 8,1992, former Yankee scout Dick Groch made a scouting report on a 17-year-old kid who has turned out to have a Hall of Fame career, and a big reason for the Yankees success the past 2 decades.
