The Yankees honored long-time shortstop Derek Jeter on Saturday before the team's game against the Rays. Jeter joined the 3,000 hit club last month on a home run off Tampa Bay's David Price. He was honored for becoming the first in franchise history to reach the plateau while wearing pinstripes. After giving his batting gloves and helmet to two executives from the Hall of Fame, Jeter and his family were feted with gifts from the Yankees organization. Team president Randy Levine and COO Lonn Trost presented Jeter with a waterford crystal vase commemorating his 3,000th hit. Hal Steinbrenner and his wife then gave Jeter and his mother, Dot, father, Charles, and sister, Charlene, rings and pendants honoring the accomplishment. Finally, Jeter's Yankees teammates presented him with a 225-pound sculpture, which captured Jeter with his helmet held high in the air in a salute to fans. It was commissioned by pitcher CC Sabathia and part-time designated hitter and longtime teammate Jorge Posada. To close the ceremony, another longtime teammate, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, gave a speech thanking God for "being able to see everyone one" of Jeter's 3,034 hits.
