Shortstop milestone

Yankees captain Derek Jeter has passed Hall of Famer

Luis Aparicio for most hits by a shortstop. Jeter hit an RBI double in the third inning of Sunday afternoon’s game against the Seattle Mariners, won by the Mariners 10-3 at Safeco Field in Seattle. Jeter’s 2,674th hit when in the lineup as a shortstop came two innings after he had singled against Seattle rookie starting pticher Doug Fister leading off the game. He had seven hits in his first 14 at-bats of the four-game series with the Mariners. Jeter also has 13 hits as a designated hitter in his career. His 2,687 hits as of the third inning Sunday were second in Yankees history, 34 behind Lou Gehrig.
