It's a pleasure being a Yankee fan and a baseball fan.

[Lucky2]

For me too friend!

I’m not a Yankees fan (Go Sox!) but I’m a big Derek Jeter fan. I’m glad to see him grab this mark.

[ColdOne]

Good for him!

[Dr. Thorne]

Jeter is a throwback to the good guys of yesteryear. Way to go, Cap!

I'm an Angels' fan, but Derek Jeter is my favorite player.

It was a joy to watch him hit his 3000th. - and with a home run no less.

Thought the Rays showed a lot of class.....as Jeter passed first base, Kotchman tipped his cap to him and later all the Rays came out of the dugout to applaud.

Also the guy who caught the ball - Christian Lopez - did not hold it hostage, but gave it back. The Yankees have given him lots of goodies, including prime seats for the remainder of the season.

Great moments indeed.

Congratulations, Derek!

We could use more like him.

He’s a classy enough guy to step out of the all star lineup and let Peralta have his spot.

Jeter reminds me of the good old days of baseball.
Never forgot the catch he made of a line drive.
Had to jump off the ground more than 2 feet and while still in the air fired the ball to first on target to get the runner before he could get back.
One of the most amazing plays to watch.

Wound up flat on his back, hit the ground pretty hard, bounced up, dusted himself off like it was nothing.

[Travis McGee]

One for the ages!

Jeter just got his fifth hit today, driving in the go-ahead run.

I’m a dislocated Texas and live in Arizona and still hi five the clouds over our 2001 World Series win

that said , Derek Jeter is a man’s man. The worst media, the most unforvining fans and yet, Derek is legend in NY
for all time.

What a great story to a great history

What a great day for Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees! He’s a class act all the way.

[ilovesarah2012]

And I don’t think Jeter uses steroids.

[Reagan Man]

Lotsa great Yankee's and Jeter belongs among them.

Not to mention a first ballot inductee into the MLB HOF.

[PieterCasparzen]

It was very close to 2:00pm when Derek Jeter, #2, became one of 2 who have ever played for the Yankees to get 3,000 hits, one of only 2 who got 5 hits on the day they got their 3,000th and one of only 2 players to hit a home run for their 3,000th.

[Tanniker Smith]

People with tickets to yesterday’s rain-out are going to be really, really P-O’ed!

[Gene Eric]

bttt

[Puppage]

Same here. Also, I tip my hat to the entire Tampa Bay team. The reacted with total class, from their 1st basemen tipping his hat to Jeter as he rounded first, to the whole team standing outside the dugout applauding.

Really great to see. A great day for baseball.
