Jeter now only trails Mickey Mantle, who played 2,401 games with New York. Gehrig played his 2,164th game -- and 2,130th consecutive -- on April 30, 1939. After going 0-for-4, he took himself out of the lineup and his career was over. Jeter has already become the team's all-time leader in hits, passing Gehrig's mark last season. The shortstop also ranks first in at-bats, second in stolen bases, third in doubles, fourth in runs, and 10th in home runs and RBIs in Yankees history. |
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter took the field on Wednesday afternoon in his 2,164th game with the team, tying him with legendary first baseman Lou Gehrig for second place on the team's all-time list.
