Hi Everyone,

I thought it would be interesting to have a contest on the upcoming milestone of the great Yankees captain Derek Jeter.

The contest is to guess the date Derek will get his 3,000 hit and become the 28 member to join the 3,000 hit club.

The person to guess the date will be the winner!

Since Derek's uniform # is 2. I am going to allow 2 date predictions per person in this contest.

The winner will receive this...

1994 Classic Best Gold Greensboro RC, 1994 Topps, 1995 Collector's choice, 2005 Topps Turkey Red, 2005 Bowmans Best, 2010 Bowman

There will be more added.

I will update this original post as you pick your 2 dates. Please post your dates on this thread so there is a record of your predictions just in case I am away.

I doubt Derek will make it to 3000 on some of the earlier or later dates, but you never know with baseball.


Derek is currently at 3,003 hits.

    Thank you for playing. OP is updated.

    I picked

    June 7th vs. Red Sox - I would like to see him get it at home against our biggest rivalry.
    June 26th vs. Rockies - I would also like to see him get it on this day because it's his B-Day would be an awesome B-Day.


    No matter what date it happens. I would rather see him do it at home. At the stadium in front the home crowd.

    I seen the special on MLB Network called "Cardboard Treasure" and while watching I found out that someone put President Bush and Mickey Mantle in the background of the 2007 Derek Jeter Topps card. When I seen that I thought that was awesome. Too bad Topps doesn't make other cool cards like that. I would love to have one...

    Thanks again for the Contest...very gracious of you!!!

    Paul.

    Later, Paul.

    I have a pile of those Jeter/Mantle/Bush cards. I will add one to the jackpot. When I find it I will scan it and post it. There will be more I just haven't found the box yet. I plan to add some other rookie cards to the jackpot as well...

    Would he be over already with All Star Hits included?

    Derek only has 10 career All Star hits and that would bring him up to 2,950 hits.

    If you add his 185 post season hits he would be over 3000 hits.

    If you combine them all Regular season, All Star, and Post season he has 3,135 hits.
