Scott, not really sure if his injury warranted a trip to the DL. Only Jeter and the Yankees know that. But what a coincidence that it enabled him to hit # 3,000 at home...where it should have been done!!
And big kudos goes out to Christian Lopez (the 23 year old fan who caught the ball)... he said he "wanted Jeter to have the ball and didn't need anything for it". The Yankees thought different and eneded up giving the kid three auto'ed Jeter bats, three auto'ed Jeter ball, two auto'ed Jeter jerseys, 4 tickets in the front row behind home plate for todays game, 4 seats in the suits for the rest of the season, and he got a chance to meet and take pictures with Jeter. KUDOS to the Yankees!!
