09/13: Jeter Needs 9 Hits to Become Yankee Stadium Hits Leader
Dan Martin of the Post reports on an interesting statistic, given that Yankee Stadium will soon be closing. Lou Gehrig is the all-time hits regular season hits leader in the stadium, with 1,269 hits. Derek Jeter currently sits at 1,261 (the article says 1,260, but it must have been written before the last game because
Yahoo! and
Baseball Reference show one additional hit). The Yankees have 10 home games remaining. So, Jeter needs to average about one hit a game to pass Gehrig. That'd be a cool record to walk away with.
