The New York Yankees have not had their fair share of 3,000
hit members, actually they only have one in Derek Jeter, but they got their
first in the franchise's storied history on this day in 2011. Jeter would step
up to the plate in the third inning at Yankee Stadium against the Tampa Bay
Rays and their ace David Price and would belt a home run to the left field
stands. Jeter would become the 28th player to ever collect 3,000 hits. Jeter
had a 5-5 day including a game winning RBI single in the bottom of the eighth
inning.
The New York Yankees have also had their fair share of
cycles in their history and on this day in 1937 Joe DiMaggio would hit for the
first of his two career cycles as he hit two home runs, the triple, double, and
single helping the Yankees beat the Washington Senators 16-2. Joe D would
accomplish the feat again in 1948 for the Yankees.
