Congratulations to Derek Jeter, who broke Lou Gehrig's record for hits at Yankee Stadium, singling in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. ESPN on Jeter |

ohhh, is this a thread where we can congratulate random players for random accomplishments? No? Or maybe if it only involves former Yankees.
Congrats to Jim Thome for passing Mickey Mantle's HR mark!

Uh, I'm a Yankee fan, but I'll admit Thome's accomplishment is pretty impressive also. There was a long stretch where I think he was pretty underrated. But considering some of the guys who played in Yankee Stadium, Jeter's is awesome also. I don't know if congratulations are really in order, especially because I doubt Derek Jeter reads HoyaTalk, but still...it's newsworthy that he has more hits in that building than Babe, Mickey, Joe D., etc. (Yes, they played shorter seasons. But Jeter is losing the stadium several YEARS early.)

Congratulations to the plucky Yankees for coming soooo close to making the playoffs this year. Maybe next year, with a real revenue stream in the new park, they will be able to compete with the mighty Rays.
Your current Yankee elimination number: 3.

Regardless of his hit total, I doubt we will hear Jeter say that :
"Today today...today...today... I consider myself the luckiest man in the world!

It would have taken 30 seconds to look it up and get the quote right.

My guess is that will improve the air quality where you are standing.
Everyone knows, of course, that on Sunday Yankee Stadium will speak for the first time, and refer to itself as the luckiest stadium on the face of the earth.
Only in New York.
