If you ever slept with the smell of your baseball glove, or listened to a game on the radio then you have to like this. The Captain just wrote a chapter of Yankee Lore.
It’s been a long time since I smiled about baseball. If you had told me a Yankee would be the reason I got nostalgic, I wouldn’t have believed it.
But for Jeter to go 5/5 with the game winning ribeye, and to homer to reach 3000 is special. My sense is that Jeter respects the game and appreciates what it means to be the first Yankee to have 3000 hits. Now he will be mentioned with the likes of Ruth, Mantle, Dimaggio, and Gehrig.
You can watch the whole at bat below, courtesy of someone videoing their tv.
