Congratulations to Derek Jeter on passing Lou Gehrig last night for most hits all-time at Yankee Stadium with 1,270 with his first inning single off Gavin Floyd of the Chicago White Sox. They say that records are made to be broken, but this record will forever stand because when the Stadium closes forever after Sunday night's game, the records that were made here stay with it; they don't carry over to the New Yankee Stadium. Jeter needed 11 hits in his final 10 home games to pass Gehrig, and he passed it him in just 5 games, hitting .611 (11 for 18) in those 5 games and hitting .900 (9 for 10) this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays. Way to go Derek, you deserve this!
