Just got back from the Yankee game with 2 of my sons and my wife, something I'll never forget. Pure pandemonium. As soon as the ball left the bat everyone in the stadium knew it was gone. I was in right field in the second tier perfect view, I'll see that ball arcing in my dreams. It was great!!!!!

I was also at the game on Saturday. It was the single most exciting game I've been to and I'm not a Yankee fan.

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.

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

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.

Fun fact: Molitor is the only guy to get a triple for his 3,000's hit. Jeter being the greatest Yankee of all time is rediculous. He's a .300 hitter with minimal power and very overrated at SS. He's a great player, but Ruth / Gehrig / Mantle are top 3 Yanks of all time with Dimaggio possibly sneaking in there somewhere. Yanks have 1 title in the past 10 years, same as the Chisox / Marlins / Cardinals. Yanks were the team of the 90's, not 2000's. Boston has 2 in the 2000's, that's got to hurt the true Yankee fans out there.

Great game for Jeter. I think some are getting caught up in the moment though. He has been an incredible hitter in the post-season, but he is not the reason the Yankees won their rings. Without Mariano Rivera (under a 1.00 ERA in the post-season), Andy Pettite (19-10) and crazy as it sounds, Orlando Hernandez, Jeter's post-season numbers wouldn't amount to any rings.
My top five Yankees: 1. Gehrig 2. Ruth 3. Dimaggio 4. Mantle 5. Mariano Rivera Someone back there said Dimaggio was over-rated but had a nice swing. I couldn't disagree more. He finished his career with 361 home runs and 369 strikeouts. Pretty incredible hitter. Last edited by packs; 07-09-2011 at 03:59 PM.
