Jeter Moves Into Sixth On All-Time Hits List

Oct 18, 2014 4:44 AM

Derek Jeter passed Honus Wagner and moved into sixth place on the all-time hits list on Satruday. 

Jeter's 3,431st hit of his career came in the sixth inning, on a soft single that charging Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall could not pick up with his bare hand.

"It is one of those 'wow' moments," Jeter said after the Yankees' 3-0 loss. "It's something I'm extremely proud of. Obviously, I would've liked to have won the game, but it's something I'll be able to tell my kids one day."
