Derek Jeter’s milestone hits:
1: May 30, 1995 at Seattle (Tim Belcher)
100: July 17, 1996 at Boston (Joe Hudson)
1,000: Sept. 25, 2000 vs. Detroit (Steve Sparks)
2,000: May 26, 2006 vs. Kansas City (Scott Elarton)
2,500: Aug. 22, 2008 at Baltimore (Radhames Liz)
2,721: Sept. 9, 2009 vs. Tampa Bay (Jeff Niemann)
—————-
Let’s project:
3,000: Aug. 1, 2011 at Boston (Kei Igawa)
4,256: May 3, 2019 at Pluto (Josh Pettitte)
4,300: Sept. 30, 2019 vs. Moscow (Paul Byrd)
5,000: September 14, 2024 Jamie Moyer
3,000 @ Boston vs Kei Igawa !!! Please let it be true Pete!
I sayin’ he gets 3000 before the 2011 asb.
Steve Sparks is my favorite tough luck pitcher of all time because while playing for the Angels, following a team meeting with a motivational speaker, he separated his shoulder trying to tear a phonebook in half. You can’t beat that.
7,000 in 2049 vs 82 year old Tim Wakefeild. Old Knuckleballers never die!!!
all this talk of jeter being overrated is hogwash. if anything he is underrated.
this talk about Jeter breaking into “top 5″ is stupid.
just stupid.
of course if you are chasing a record set by the great Lou Gehrig, you will suffer by comparison. ripken had the same fate. neither are overrated, both underrated. 1st ballot HOFers.
Uncle Ellsworth, if tonight’s game is washed out, does everyone’s Jeter pick default to the next played game? Are you the only one who picked tonight’s game? Was this whole thing fixed from the get-go?
jeter could surpass yogi in the 5 spot.
GB7 -
From other thread: any increase in Trenton’s offense will be greatly (and I do mean greatly) appreciated.
Pete -
I had to think twice when I saw the Josh Pettitte reference. Andy’s son? ‘twould be fitting. (Especially if Mo’s son comes in in relief!)
Uncle E-
Is that projection “on the record” because I am coming back here mid-July 2011 and waving it your face if you are wrong.
4256 is coming off Jose Veras
3,000: Aug. 1, 2011 at Boston (Kei Igawa)
4,256: May 3, 2019 at Pluto (Josh Pettitte)
4,300: Sept. 30, 2019 vs. Moscow (Paul Byrd)
I hope tonight’s game is rained out.
With my new work schedule after being promoted I work 3pm to 11pm Weds-Friday.
It would also make for a fantastic day of sports tomorrow with the Yankees, college football and especially USC @ Ohio State.
PLEASE LET IT BE RAINED OUT!
jete needs rings and things to catch the yog.
Doreen-
Don’t be silly!! Robot Mariano Rivera will still be pitching
4300 off Angel Berroa
Dr Cox-
Just out of curiousity, how crappy were your hours BEFORE your promotion? Ouch!

I think i’m the only one who is close.
Fixed? no.
I used geometric logic.
seriously I picked him to break the record tonight in his first at bat Wayy back on August 20th.
If he does it – I’m patting myself on the back.
btw I was one inning off the tie hit
4,256: May 3, 2019 at Pluto (Josh Pettitte)
4,300: Sept. 30, 2019 vs. Moscow (Paul Byrd)
==========================================================
What Pete, you think it’ll take Jeter almost a full 5 months to get 44 hits? So what if he’d be 46 years old ??!!? He’d still be Derek Jeter.
Erica:
7am to 3pm. That wasn’t so bad. I got forced into taking a position when my superior quit. Oh well Im only doing this until I finish grad school.
As Dave Matthews, John Fogherty, and countless other have said …”Let it rain!”
what happens if he breaks the record and it gets rained out?
4,256: May 3, 2019 at Pluto (Josh Pettitte)

Raaiaiaian, I don’t mind,
Shiiiiiiiiine, the wheter’s fine.
IGAWA ….. HA HA HA!!!!
It’s raining in Baltimore.
Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head (oddly enough- just came on my iPod)
Raindrops keep fallin on my head
And just like a guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops keep faillin on my head, they keep falling
Yes sir! Captain Jeter’s 3,000th hit June 26, 2011.
Consider it set in stone
( turing 26 on the 26th if you don’t know what a golden birthday is).

Yes, it would, Doreen. Had Vazquez anf Montero not been hurt, their offense would have carried Trenton into the playoffs. They were left with very little after that. It sould be another sparkling year for Scranton, Tampa and Charleston, next year, though. Charleston should be monsterous and Tampa will be ancored by a 19 year old left handed fire baller. Somebody needs to adopt that kid and feed him 5 times a day (Manny Banuelos). very nice, well mannered kid, but, very quiet.
hey everyone – long time, no post.
i have two tickets to the saturday game tomorrow – section 132, row 15. i can’t get to the stadium (believe me, i tried – jeter could pass lou tomorrow!), so i’m selling them. i would love for them to go to a lohudder.
anyone? 90 each (list price) or best offer. i have no idea how to get them to you (they’re printed out off the computer, i could pdf/scan, i guess – maybe through pete?) and no idea how to get paid, but any ideas welcome!
go yankees!
5,500: Sept. 30, 2027 vs. Sterodia (Roger Clemens)
…and Senator Curt Schilling with throw out the first pitch?
?Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.
?The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.
?Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.
?And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain.
Jeter is not a top 5 all time yankee he wont even be a top 10 all time yankee. There are two guys on his current team that will be ranked higher than Jeter. Mariano Rivera should be ranked higher than Jeter.
And by the end of there careers, Alex Rodriguez will be ranked higher than Jeter as an all-time yankee. Once A-Rod has a big postseason and wins a ring which will happen. He will then jump right over Jeter.
“Baby, The Rain Must Fall” by Glenn Yarborough or maybe just for today, “Rainin’ In My Heart” by Buddy Holly.
Really?
Riders on the Storm.
“It’s raining in Baltimore.”
GREAT song.
Great song Uncle. Certainly better than “It’s Raining Men”.
It’s a big enough umbrella,
but it’s always me that ends up getting wet…
“I kind of like the Eric Clapton “Let it Rain”.
I cut my guitar teeth on that one about 30 years ago, on a black Fender Strat with the white pickguard – playing through an old Fender Champ no less.
Haven’t picked the darned thing up in years…
If it takes DJ until August of 2011 to get #3,000, something has gone wrong. He projects to finish this year with 2,747 hits. He averages 208 hits every 162 games. So, you have to figure he’ll be around 2,950 very early in 2011 barring injury. Hopefully, 3,000 comes sooner. But, given that he’ll be turning 37 in 2011, anything is possible, I suppose.
blame it on the rain!

that is crap. mo isnt higher than jeter now, how will he surpass him. i mean if he hasnt done enough to pass him yet, what does he have to do? arod will never pass him. will never have the rings. jete will play at least as long as arods contract, 8 more years, and surpass Rose and challenge Joe D for 4th.
that Paul Byrd comment could have been the funniest thing you have ever written, Pete

FYI:
Each ticket on Stubhub is $220. [Section 132, Row 16] so your price is awesome.
I can’t take advantage of it but someone on here should.

“Rain” by The Beatles
see above quoted lines.
how is rockband? my nephews just got it
Summer rain taps on my window
West wind soft as a sweet dream….
(Can you still sing “Summer Rain” after Labor Day?”)
Simon and Garfunkel again from Sounds of Silence, circa 1966
Kathy’s Song
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My mind’s distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you’re asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And as a song I was writing is left undone
I don’t know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can’t believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
purple rain- Prince
is that seals and crofts Erica?

Nope. Johnny Rivers. Love that song
got didn’t make little green apples and it don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time.
“that Paul Byrd comment could have been the funniest thing you have ever written, Pete”
Seriously? The funniest??
Really????
“Can’t Stop The Rain” who did that?
Pete – stick to sports blogging. Comedy ain’t your thing! Sorry my man.
Uncle Ellsworth
I am loving it, can’t beat the music. I am 53 years old and thought I might feel silly playing the instruments, but did not. (of course no one has actually seen or heard me, yet. )
Johnny Rivers was great. Just cant remember anything right now. short term memory loss ya know.
Here comes the rain king
Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!

Anybody your age that remembers Johnny Rivers is aces in my book, Erica.
Not remembers, but, knows Johnny Rivers’ music.
I was thinking of Summer Breeze by seals and crofts.
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.

I’m a few years behind you and don’t understand how it works.
but if it gets 15 years old into the Beatles I’m all for it.
Thanks GB7-
Johnny Rivers has some great music. I have a bunch of his songs on my iPod
Love Reign O’er me
we have a winner.
Man,those road trips to Pluto are going to be rough. Anaheim is bad enough.
Love Reign O’er me
Two thumbs up!

————————————————————
Among others….Poor Side Of Town, Mountain Of Love, Memphis, Mabeline, Midnight Special, Secret agent Man and his biggest, Baby, I Need Your Lovin’.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
Uncle Ellsworth
My son is 24 and has loved the Fab Four all his life, he grew up right. He, too, has turned me on to a lot of newer bands that he thought I would like and he has been right more than wrong.
I can NOT believe that no one has yet chosen… here it comes…
“Another Rainy Day In New York City” by the great Chicago.
In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet again
Love is like a dyin’ ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I’ll remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We’ll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no partin’
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I’ve loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Thanks GB7-
Johnny Rivers has some great music. I have a bunch of his songs on my iPod
————————————————————
I’ve got about forty of his songs, many obscure ones, loaded among the 28,000 songs loaded on my computer.
GB7-
Yeah, I think I have 4 Johnny Rivers songs. LOL. But thats probably 4 more than any other 28 year old you have ever “met”. LOL
I only have about 1400 songs on my iPod. I have trouble thinking of ones to download
Baby, I Need Your Lovin’
When I’m dreaming I can sing, in the shower, in the car, man, I sing like the Four Tops:
“Baby, I need your lovin’… got to have all your lovin’…”
Buckets of Rain

Willie has the best version of that, but, Gene Vincent has a great version also.
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow” Judy Garland
“Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.”

If you ever want clean, virus free music, let me know and I can attach music files to an e-mail.
Erica
ever hear Poor Side of Town by johnny rivers?
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow” Judy Garland
always makes me think of Never Never Land, (Green and Comden). Todd Rundgren even does a version of it…
Hey, why not “(The Sun Will Come Out) Tomorrow”?
A complete Johnny Rivers collection must include “The Ballad Of Hopalong Cassidy”.
GB7-
Cool, I appreciate that. Johnny’s version of “Baby, I Need Your Lovin” is the ONLY version to me.
Mick-
Yes, I have. I also really like Memphis
From Led Zeppelin’s The Rain Song:
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion-
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient-
Upon us all a little rain
Must fall.
Just a little rain?
Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah
Don’t forget Rockin Pnemonia and Boogie Woogie Blues

Tracks of my Tears is great but Smokey does it best.
Murph … you ever hear Iz (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole) do Somewhere Over the Rainbow?

Was at the Kingdome for #1. Still have the ticket stub.
gb7 – do you think that a trenton rotation of mcallister, pope, delarosa, bleich and horne/stephens/pendleton/? will show substantial improvement?
nyy in btr – i’ve been playing bass for 44 years and still won’t leave my cave LOL!
Jeter, the classiest gentleman in baseball, is no Lou Gehrig, and the fact that he, himself, would tell you this proves the point.
ed – Jeter and Gehrig are apples and oranges. they are completely different types of players playing in very different eras.
Jeter’s actually bigger (listed at 6-3, 195, while Gehrig’s listed at 6-0, 200). Gehrig a slugging first baseman, Jeter a model of consistency shortstop with a great inside-out swing and occasional power.
Jeter may be no Gehrig (doesn’t have his power) but Gehrig also was no Jeter (a gold-glove shortstop. And he’d probably be the first to admit that, as well.
Can’t we just celebrate both of them without trying to constantly quantify who’s “better”?
They were/are two great, great Yankees.
