Wen did Derek Jeter make his 2000th hit?
549990
The 4th Inning of Friday night's game against the Royals. It was a groundball just in front of home plate. The catcher overthrew first base and Jeter arrived safely at first.

Yes, Alex Rodriguez actually proposed to Jeter last night and he said yes.  I heard it made Johnny Damon very upset though.

Shortstop and captain Derek Jeter is the only active yankee player with a single digit number.\n\nEdit: There are simply not two yankees with single digit #'s that are still active:\n\nThe Yankee's have retired the following #'s\n\n1 Billy Martin \n3 Babe Ruth \n4 Lou Gehrig \n5 Joe Dimaggio \n7 Micky Mantle \n8 Yogi Berra \n8 Bill Dickey \n9 Roger Maris \n10 Phil Rizzuto \n15 Thurman Munson \n16 Whitey Ford \n23 Don Mattingly \n32 Elston Howard \n37 Casey Stengel \n44 Reggie Jackson \n49 Ron Guidry \n\nThat only leave's Derek Jeter's #2 and Joe Torre's #6 as single digit #'s that are still left. Unless he is coming out of Retirement, Joe torre is not a yankee player but rather their manager.\n\nBTW, Cairo is #14 for the yankees this year.

Alex Rodriguez, because, even though Jeter is REALLY good, A-Rod was the AL MVP, and he has over 400 HR's, which is a GREAT acheivement at the age of 30. Jeter is 31, and he does not have 400 homers.

In 1980 Mike Schmidt had 48 HR's. It was the most in his career. He led the Majors that year.

Only once has someone struck out 20 in 9 innings, I think it was Steve Carlton or Roger Clemens. More than a dozen have pitched a perfect game. So I would say 20 strike outs as being more impressive.

It's true that Jeter is not the very best at any one aspect of the game. He might not be the best fielder although he does have great moments on the field. He certainly isn't a record breaking home run hitter although is 4 hits away from 2000 in his career and if he continues at this pace could reach 3000 which is a rare thing to do. And you're right - he is not as clutch as people make him out to be, although he has come through in some very very important spots in the past.\n\nSo yes, he doesn't stand out as particularly amazing in any one category of statistics. What makes Jeter so great is that he's an amazing all around player. He bats high in the line up so he's not supposed to be a home run hitter, he's supposed to get on base and he does that very well. He plays the game the right way. That's why he's the captain of the Yankees, which is a huge honor. He's a leader. He always plays to win. NYY fans are not all about the spectacle of home runs (the Yanks don't shoot off fireworks), they like to see the game played right with the thought of October in mind. Jeter also doesn't wilt under the pressure of New York, instead it motivates him. That's also important to why he's so well liked.\n\nI don't understand your point about him playing for the Pirates. You've just started watching the Yanks. If Jeter was playing for the Pirates, when you started watching their games they would probably talk about him a lot. He gets attention because he's a good player (though perhaps not outstanding), a leader on the team, and he's pretty good with the media. He's well spoken. If Jeter played for the Pirates he wouldn't get the national attention he does now, but he would still get attention from local fans & media because he's a good player. If you just started watching Yankee games of course you are gonna hear about Jeter. He's the face of the Yankees as much as Damon used to be the face of the Red Sox. And the Yankees are a very well known team. Pretty much every player on the Yanks gets more media attention than players on the Pirates. It's just not a fair comparison.\n\nHe gets paid a lot of money because he's on the Yankees. Not because he's pretty. Of course, you might have meant why does he get paid so much attention, and then yes, the fact that he's attractive doesn't hurt. That always comes across well on camera. But it's not just looks. Like I said before, he's well spoken too. If he never said a word to the media and was negative towards them all the time, he wouldn't get nearly the attention he does now, and if he did it would be negative. Jeter has a good personality and doesn't shy away from the media, that's why they are so positive towards him, and I guess why he ends up with a lot of hype. He's just a really nice guy, who plays the game right, and people want to say nice things about him.\n\nPS - it's Derek, not Derick
