3,000

What other way to start my blog than with a post about Derek Jeter on this historic day? I have always been an Angels fan. Both of my parents were born and grew up in Orange County, CA and have also been lifelong Angels fans. I was born with this passion as well as an extreme hatred of, first, the Dodgers, then the Yankees and the Red Sox. I have always hated Jeter, Rodriguez, Cano, Posada, and the list goes on. But there is no possible way to disrespect someone who hit a homerun for their 3,000th hit and went 5-5 with the winning RBI. This is an incredible milestone, congratulations Derek, but you will always be number 2. :)

Facts: Derek Jeter is the 28th player to reach 3,000 career hits. He is the first Yankee to do it.
