greatest players in history put on the pinstripes... b the new york yankees have had some of the greatest players in history put on the pinstripes. but none of them ever reached 3,000 hits until today. . >> derek jeter got his first hit on may 30 of 1995. a single to the left side off tim belcher. 17 years later, we stand at the precipice of history. that is good. deep to left field. going back. joyce looking up. see ya! 3,000! history! with an exclamation point. >> the yankees captain becomes the second player ever to hit a homer for his 3,000th hit. he gets mobbed by his teammates and the day didn't end there. jeter finished the game five for five and drove in the game-winning run in the 8th. as the yankees beat the rays 5-4. and yes, jeter did get the ball
6:53 pm
back from the fan that caught it. >> i do have the ball. i held it. it feels like all the rest of them. [ laughter ] >> actually i didn't think about it. someone, i forget who, someone said you got to try to get that ball back and that was the last thing on my mind. really, after it was all said and done, i was saying, i hope it doesn't rain. because we weren't through five innings yet. >> derek jeter has done it! in grand style! >> you want to hit the ball hard. i mean i didn't want to hit a slow roller to third base and have that be replayed forever. >> i felt a lot of pressure to do it here while we're at home. so i have been lying to you for quite some time. to be the only yankee to do it, to be the only yankee to do anything is pretty special, if i were the leader of strike-outs, i would be happy about it,
6:54 pm
because so many people have played here. the last 10 are the hardest to get and it took me a month to get the last 10. and yes, i agree. >> if were you to guess, which giants starter would have the lowest e.r.a., most would go with tim lincecum or matt king, but instead, it is a guy who wasn't even on the team until mid april. lion vogelsong has the second lowest e.r.a. in the national league. not bad for a guy who wasn't even in the majors the last four years. last week, he was named to the all-star team. along with lincecum, kaine and brian wilson. >> i haven't started picking their brain too much yet. i heard there is a lot of stuff to sign. which is not going to bother me one bit. the road i've been on, adding a couple hundred baseballs is not a big deal. never in a million years did i ever think that my name and being a major league all-star would go in the same sentence. so it is pretty amazing. >> women, u.s. open, look at all of the rain, they had to huzle all weekend to get in as many holes as possible.

6:56 pm
