I don't know about the rest of you, but I've got to stop taking Derek Jeter for granted.
Last night the great Yankee shortstop broke Lou Gehrig's record for most hits (1270) at Yankee Stadium. Playing in nearly 2000 major league games, the 34-year old Jeter has amassed 2532 career hits and a .316 batting average all while quietly enduring the George Steinbrenner et fils era, perhaps his greatest achievement. If he remains healthy Jeter seems certain to reach 3000 hits before he calls it a career.
Oh, and by the way, his hit came off of Chicago's Gavin Floyd in a losing cause. Floyd is 16-7 for the year.
