If it was caught by a fan hopefully they will get a chance to congratulate mr jeter

It's hard to believe that with all the greats that franchise has had that Jeter is the first player to get his 3000th hit in a Yankee uniform.

They showed security escorting the fan up the stairs.

Even more interesting is that only two people got their 3000th hit via a HR and both were not HR hitters, Boggs and Jeter. Boggs did it with the Rays and Jeter did it against the Rays.

I was surprised when I heard that myself

Congrats

side note: Paul Molitor is the only player that hit 3000 was a triple

Jeter needs a triple to hit for the cycle. I don't think anyone else has done that on the day they got to 3000.

Carl Yastrzemski's 3,000th "hit" was the sorriest of the lot.

Glad he did it before the All-Star break.

Very nice to see him do it now and be done with it. Jeter is a lovable person. 1995 since to be only yesterday when he came up through the minors.

Guy who got the ball was given four suite tickets for the rest of the season and playoffs

That's it? I would hope there would be a little more involved with it being #3000 AT Yankee Stadium AND it being a homer AND being one of the most loved Yankees of all time.

But congrats to Jeter!

He also got two front row seats for tomorrows game, several Jeter signed balls, bats, and jerseys.

Jeter's 3000th hit brought back memories of Roberto Clemente's. I was researching it and found an interesting article in the NYT. Things were different in those days, that's for sure.

I bet Clemente wouldn't have sat out of the All-Star game because he was "sleepy".

LOL! I can't believe how many PUSSIES there are in MLB these days.

The greatest latin ball player to ever play. His LAST hit was his 3000 hit. My Idol.... and the most misunderstood player in baseball during his time.

EDIT: GREAT story and it brought up some emotion about THE pride of my small island of Puerto Rico. There have been many GREAT latin players in the history of this game, but none like him. To this day, I miss him and due to the small talent now coming out of Puerto Rico to the Majors, Puerto Rico misses him MORE!
