Unless you’ve been living under the rock for the past two or three weeks, you know that Derek Jeter is approaching Lou Gehrig’s club record for career hits. Following today’s game, he’s just three hits away from tying Gehrig and four from passing him. I’m hoping that Jeter is kind enough to hold off for a few days so I can see him break the record in person on Wednesday, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
Anyway, Steve Lombardi at Was Watching takes a crack at comparing Jeter to another all-time great Yankee – Joe DiMaggio – and shows that determining who’s better may not be as easy as you think. It’s seems like just yesterday that the Cap’n was making his debut, but now we’re comparing him to some of the greatest players who’ve ever lived. Crazy, huh?
