A triple away. Any chance he cycles in this game? If then, which ball would be worth more? 3000? or the triple for the cycle?
Obviously, this is hypothetical because the triple would never reach the public. But then again, 3000 never will now either. If there is a triple for the cycle, and it somehow reaches the general public. Would it fetch anywhere near what 3000 would have? Last edited by novakjr; 07-09-2011 at 01:05 PM. |

I would think the 3000th hit ball. By a lot.

The fan who caught it is a class act too. He said he wanted nothing for the ball, just for Jeter to have it. He said Jeter earned it and deserved it.

It's safe to say that Jeter is the first player to go 5 for 5 on the day he got his 3000th hit. What a memorable game!
Oops...Biggio did it. I guess Jeter will have to bat one more time. Last edited by barrysloate; 07-09-2011 at 02:09 PM. |

Yes really ! He brought the Yankees out of the worst years of their lives, no Jeter no world championships. Yes he had help but nothing like Ruth, Dimaggio, or Mantle had. I would say Mantle is 2nd as he had more competition than Ruth or Gehrig. And Dimaggio was overated but had a nice swing, actually probably the 2nd best next to Ted Williams. The pressure Jeter had and the clutch he came through with goes down second to none !

A Google search for the highest prices ever paid for a baseball showed:

To get your 3000th on a day like that...is just incredible. 5-5? HR for 3000? Game winning hit? Unreal.

I think Ruth would be the obvious #1 in Yankees history. He brought them their first title in 1923, and for that one, he didn't much help then either. I would say, IMHO, that that the greatest Yankees are:
(1) Babe Ruth (2) Mickey Mantle (3) Lou Gehrig (4) Joe Dimaggio (5) Yogi Berra (6) Derek Jeter |

Hard to imagine a better day for Jeter. Really fitting for the guy.
As for the top 6 Yankees of all time, I agree with the names listed above just not perhaps the order. Ruth, Gehrig, DiMag, Mantle, Berra and then Jeter.
