Derek Jeter's 3000 career base hits!
Derek Jeter became the 28th player in Major League Baseball history to reach or surpass 3,000 career base hits. Jeter did it in style too, becoming only the second player after Wade Boggs to get his 3,000th hit on a home run. It was part of a 5-for-5 day he capped by driving in the go-ahead run in the Yankees' 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Jesse Baker, West Michigan Glass Art Center Instructor and Studio Manager, celebrated Derek Jeter’s accomplishment with the New York Yankees by creating a stunning handmade cast glass sculpture and unique metal base. Jesse personally delivered the piece to Derek’s Turn 2 Foundation in New York City. Read his personal account on creating the sculpture and his exciting trip to New York City right here!!
