06/26: Today, 33 Years Ago, the Course of Yankee History Was Altered...
Posted by: Patrick
Ed Price has 33 things you may not know about D. Jeter in honor of it being Jeter's 33rd birthday today. Some of my favorites:
Via Bryan Hoch.
By any other name: At the time of his 33rd birthday, Pete Rose -- who would go on to be the all-time hits leader -- had 2,167 hits, with a .312 average in 1,705 games. Jeter has 2,250 hits, with a .318 average in 1,751 games. ...
Neat feat: Jeter last year hit .343 with 14 homers, 118 runs scored, 97 RBI and 34 stolen bases. Only two players had ever matched or exceeded those statistics in the same season -- Kiki Cuyler in 1925 and George Sisler in 1920. ...
Consistent: Jeter has not gone hitless in four straight games since June 2003. ...
In bunches: Since the start of the 1996 season, Jeter has 659 multiple-hit games, more than any other player in the majors.
Few o-fers: Jeter has hit safely in 63 games this season, most in the majors and is on pace for 140. The record for a single season is 135 games with a hit, which Jeter accomplished in 1999 and shares with Rogers Hornsby (1922), Chuck Klein (1930), Wade Boggs (1985) and Ichiro Suzuki (2001).
