Derek Jeter Playing For The Lakers?

Well, that’s what his Wikipedia said (credit to the River Ave Blues for pointing this one). According to his slightly tweaked Wikipedia entry – Jeter is an eighteen time all star pitcher and captain of the L.A. Lakers. Jeter spent his entire career with the Lakers starting in 1915 when he was just eight years old. That’s a pretty impressive accomplishment and a fact that I didn’t know.

But it goes on…his jersey number is 211122224541 and was born in Pequannock, Old Jersey. If you wanted to do know who made these editorial changes to his bio, check out who he made his debut for the Boston Red Sox, on May 29, 1977. Gotta love it!

Top Yankee Moments Of 2008 – Derek Jeiter Surprasses Lou Gherig’s Hit Record

Posted by admin on January 9, 2009 under Top Yankee Moments Of 2008 | Be the First to Comment

With time running out before Yankee Stadium closed his doors, Derek Jeter recorded his 1270th hit at the Stadium on 161st and River Avenue. With that he replaced Lou Gherig for the most hits in Yankee Stadium. It was amazing to see one of the players that I grew up watching, beat one of the records held by one of the all time Yankee greats. I had a feeling all along that he would do it, he’s Derek Jeter, but when he finally got that record breaking hit, you had to cheer.

The tie breaking hit came on Septemeber 16th in a game against the Tampa Rays. It was a homerun hit of Ray’s pitcher David Price. The record setting hit came two days later when he got a hit off the Chicago White Sox’s pitcher Gavin Floyd.
