Sports Blog- Yankees History

Growing up in downstate New York, I grew up following the Yankees my whole life. Every season I catch almost every game, and make it to at least five games a year. The Bronx Bombers bring so much excitment every game, and it's no wonder why they have the highest attendance rate every year. Fourtunatley for all the Yankees fans out their, Derek Jeter is about to pass Lou Gehrig for the most hits all time in Yankees history. Since 1995 when Jeter came into the league, he has been the leader of this Yankee dynasty. So much history is behind the New York Yankees organization, that this record almost seems like a minor step, however this is one of the biggest, and most recognized record to ever be broken. Tonight, Jeter will be going to break this record of 2,721 hits, which he is tied with right now.
On wednesday, when Jeter tied the record, they stopped play for about ten minutes due to the crowd roaring and chanting Jeter's name. I am not going to lie, I am a die hard Yankees fan, who previously worked in Yankees stadium during the 2007 season, so my opinions might seem a little bias, but I know their are tons of people out their who feel the same as me. Their are many speculations, about Jeter possibly going down as one of the best Yankees in history, and possibly the best baseball player to ever play the game. The way he goes about the game, the way he presents himself day in and day out, to me, makes him the best player playing the game right now. Currently this year, Jeter is in line to win the A.L. MVP award, and even the Roberto Clemente award. Even though in his career, he has one so many awards and championships, this MVP award will complete his trophy case. So with that, all I have to say is GO YANKSSS!!
