Jeter, who reached the historic milestone in the third inning of his team's game again Baltimore, joined a pantheon of Yankee greats that includes Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and Lou Gehrig?all of whom share the distinction of having fewer career hits than Baines, a one-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award.

But it's the Yankees and it's Derek Jeter. And that's like the combination of the best franchise in the entire world and the most amazing player the major leagues has ever seen in like ever forever.
