Derek Jeter gets hit #2416, passes Mickey Mantle

ap photo. With Joe West and Lyle Overbay. Hits in regular season Yankee career:
  • 2. Babe Ruth 2518
  • 4. Mickey Mantle 2415
Followed by Bernie Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Don Mattingly, and Yogi Berra
  • P.S. Hitting is only 1 component of an MVP of course, but Joe Christensen would not vote for Derek Jeter for any reason, as he told Charley Steiner on XM, Sept. 19, 2006:
No to Jeter, because he's on a "team of rich guys getting it done."
  • Conscience of MLB, Guardian of Integrity of the Game, BBWAA voter, unbiased professional. Given more freedom and power than an average Supreme Court Justice. (sm)
