WGAS. What does this have to do with Disney? Oh yeah, NOTHING.

I agree, Thats great for Jeter (GO PIRATES! FIRST SEASON OVER 500 IN 18 YEARS!) but this really doesn't belong on a Disney board. Though please stay, I like the info you bring to these boards.

Stick to your unsubstantiated rumors that you claim as definitely happening and save the Jeter rump swab posts for a sports board.

Yankees haters are hilarious. This is the Community Board. 99% of the threads on here are non Disney related. And actually, right now, besides this one there is another sports related thread that is up to two pages and counting.

Congratulations to the Captain. Class act in every sense of the phrase.

I guess this got moved to the CB from another board, all the animosity. That's okay, it can stay here. Disney isn't the only thing in life to get excited about. We need to celebrate the celebratory moments in life when they happen.

OP, I think it must have been really exciting to have been in the stands to watch it happen.

And yes, Go Derek! Go Yankees! I support our home teams.

Ahh ok. If it was originally not on the CB then I completely understand the comments about it not belonging. I still think the comments were fueled by Yankee hatred/jealousy though, especially since of the commentors is from MA.

Awesome for Jeter!

Now, of course, being a Rays fan, I wish the Rays had WON the game , but I guess for a moment like this I can give the Yanks a win!

Congratulations Derek from some fans who you in MA!

Red Sox happy to see Derek Jeter reach 3,000 hit milestone

Derek Jeter reached the 3,000-hit milestone in impressive fashion Saturday, collecting five hits in a 5-4 victory over the Rays. The Yankees shortstop blasted a solo homer in the third inning off David Price for his 3,000th hit.

Jeter joins Wade Boggs as the only players to record their 3,000th hit on a home run.

Though he is the enemy on the field, the Red Sox were very happy for Jeter in discussing his milestone prior to Saturday’s game against the Orioles.

“That’s an unbelievable accomplishment. The numbers speak for themselves,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “I think the other side of it is either as impressive or even more, the way he conducts himself and the way he respects the game.”

Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis expressed amazement at the fact that Jeter was the first to do it as a member of the Yankees.

“It’s awesome. I’m very happy for him,” Youkilis said. “He’s a great guy, a great player. It’s unbelievable to think that with 3,000 hits, he’s the first Yankee ever to do that [while playing for New York]. If you think of the history of the Yankees, you would think there would be somebody. Guys have had 3,000 hits, but not all with the same team on the Yankees. It’s remarkable.

“It couldn’t happen to a better guy for the game of baseball. He definitely represents baseball well and does a lot of good things. He’s well-deserving of it. To have a home run on it is even cooler.”

Francona has known Jeter for quite some time, and said he was glad to see him become the 28th member of the 3,000-hit club.

“If you like baseball, he’s a lot of what’s good in baseball,” Francona said. “He respects the game, he plays the game right. He makes me proud for the way he goes about his business. I’ve seen him since the fall league and he was 19 years old, he’s still the same kid. He always plays the game right, treats people right and tries to beat your brains out.”

Great article, and those were classy things to say by Youkilis and Francona, but what does that have to do with the posters in this thread that made anti-Jeter comments?

Posters who aren't happy for Jeter will come from everywhere.

I am a die hard Texas Ranger fan, who really dislikes the Yankees, but I say WAY TO GO DEREK!!!!

I'm so happy for him that his 3000 hit was a home run in his own stadium!!!

To all the haters...you are not a true baseball fan if you can't be happy for Jeter's accomplishment.

 

[topolino]

On this we can certainly agree.

I think the article that you posted is further proof that it is really the fans that fuel the "hatred" and not the players, coaches and managers.

Congratulations to Derek Jeter! It was a great day, and going 5 for 5 was fantastic. The homerun was amazing to watch and seeing all his team mates greet him at the plate was wonderful.

Hats off to the fan, Christian Lopez for catching the ball and giving it back. He showed a lot of class by giving it to the Yankees for Derek Jeter.

Derek has always been a class act on and off the field.

I think most people who enjoy baseball know how hard it is to reach 3000 hits, and applaud Jeter on getting to this milestone. I love baseball (and the Yankees) but have always appreciated the accomplishment of other great players.

As a Met fan, I am so happy for Jeter. H e is a gentleman and a class act

I agree with all of this! I have been a Yankee's fan since I was a little girl and have loved Jeter since he first started!

I was so excited to see him hit #3000 and I agree, he's a class act!

When I posted this was on the Disney Rumors board, not the community board. 3000 hits is an awesome accomplishment and of all of the Yankees I hate Jeter the least.
