Derek Jeter’s third inning single down the right field line made history tonight. It was the 2,722nd hit of his career, passing Lou Gehrig for first on the Yankees all-time hits list.
Congratulations, Derek!

Jeter ties Gehrig, Yanks sweep Rays
Meanwhile, Joba Chamberlain only lasted three innings, throwing 56 pitches and allowing two earned runs and three hits.
The three hits and two runs allowed were recorded in the first inning, meaning the Tampa Bay Rays were no-hit over the final 8 2/3 innings.
Jorge Posada hit a go-ahead pinch-hit three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth to lead the Yankees to victory.
The Yankees were able to avoid using Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera in the ninth. Brian Bruney got the first two outs, while Phil Coke earned the save by striking out the only batter he faced.
New York is now 91-50 and will begin a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

Yankees Legendary Sports Prints on sale
I received an e-mail from former PR director of the Yankees Marty Appel yesterday. He wanted me to inform my loyal readers of a company he's working with.
Legendary Sports Prints is selling two exceptional prints by Bill Purdom: one with Mickey Mantle at-bat with Roger Maris on-deck in 1960 and another with Babe Ruth up and Lou Gehrig on-deck in 1929.
These pictures make a great holiday gift for Yankees fans. Visit their Web site for more details.

1,270
Congratulations to Derek Jeter for breaking Lou Gehrig's record for hits at Yankee Stadium tonight. His first-inning single was his 1,270th hit in the Stadium.
I just wish he waited until Thursday to hit it, seeing as I'll be there for my final time. Oh well.
