With a leadoff double against the White Sox on Friday night, Derek Jeter moved past Cal Ripken Jr. and into 13th place on the all-time hits list.
The Yankee shortstop now has 3,185 hits in his career. Next up for Jeter on the list is Nap Lajoie, who finished with 3,252 hits.
"Derek has been such a special player for such a long time and I am happy to see him continue to play at a high level," Ripken said in a statement.
"He represents the game and the Yankees wonderfully, and I hope that he continues to play and continues to give all of us baseball fans great memories."

The Orioles could be buyers next month for the first time in a very long time, according to general manager Dan Duquette.
"We are in contention, so we are going to do whatever we can to make the playoffs," he told reporters.
Duquette feels the organization has players in the minors that can assist in a playoff push, but that doesn't mean he won't explore all avenues.
"We're in contention, and we need to look at all our options to help our team," he said.
"We have some pretty good options in our minor league system to bolster the team that we have here."
The Orioles entered Sunday's action more than a game behind the Yankees for second place in the American League East.
