NEW YORK — Four years ago, it was easy to know what to think.
It was easy to know how to feel.
Derek Jeter got to 3,000 hits in the most Derek Jeter of ways, and it wasn't just Yankees fans who celebrated. Even now, four years later, the pitcher who gave up Jeter's 3,000th hit can talk about how "special" that day was.
"I still have no regrets," David Price said Friday, just a couple of hours before the 28th member of the 3,000-hit club (Jeter) was joined by the 29th member (Alex ...
New York Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez recorded the 3,000th hit of his career on a solo home run off of Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander in the first inning of Friday's 7-2 win, joining Derek Jeter as the only players to reach the 3,000-hit mark in a Yankees uniform, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Surprisingly enough, Jeter's milestone hit was a blast to deep left field, while Rodriguez reached 3,000 on an opposite-field homer over the short right field porch that Jeter so often took advantage of. It wasn't a ...
Days after recording his 2,000th career RBI, Alex Rodriguez has joined another exclusive club.
The New York Yankees designated hitter became just the 29th player in MLB history to record 3,000 hits when he smacked a solo home run in the first inning against the Detroit Tigers on Friday, according to Major League Baseball:
Rodriguez is now just the second Yankee ever to record 3,000 hits after Derek Jeter accomplished the feat four years ago.
On June 20, Rodriguez thanked the fans and his teammates:
Known baseball collector Zack Hample was the man who recovered the ...
The New York Yankees find themselves in an interesting position as we approach the trade deadline.
The team wasn't exactly expected to compete this year, at least not for a division title. However, after 63 games, the Yankees are just one game back of the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays and firmly in the running for a wild-card spot.
The team needs to keep pace with the rest of the division, and the best way to do so is through the trade market. A number of interesting options are thought to be available come the ...
The immediate thought was “bust” after the 2014 season.
Maybe it was because the New York Yankees were paying out the contract and already in the process of paying out a few others that could be labeled in a similar way—Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, Carlos Beltran. It could have been that the player was starting a huge long-term contract shortly after his 30th birthday.
But most of all, it was Brian McCann’s numbers. All of them, from the five years, $85 million on his deal to his .232/.286/.406 slash line and .692 ...
The lightning rod has struck again. And with that, his critics will surely strike back.
Alex Rodriguez woke up Saturday morning with 1,999 RBI to his professional name. How he was aided in getting them—his immense offensive talent, his teammates being on base and, of course, the drugs—is irrelevant to the record books.
By the time he laid his manicured head on a Baltimore hotel pillow Saturday night, A-Rod had taken down another milestone. His 666th career home run produced RBI Nos. 2,000 and 2,001, making him just the second official major ...
Alex Rodriguez has crossed various statistical plateaus during the 2015 MLB season and added another achievement to the list Saturday night against the Baltimore Orioles.
The New York Yankees third baseman hit a two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning, which put him at 2,001 runs batted in over his illustrious career. Since the RBI became an officially recognized and recorded stat, only one other player in baseball history has eclipsed 2,000, per ESPN Stats & Info:
Rodriguez has been one of the Yankees' best hitters this year, which ...
The New York Yankees called up Mason Williams less than 24 hours ago, and the young kid wasted no time making an impact. During the fourth inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night, Williams hit a monster two-run home run to cut the Orioles' lead to two. It was the outfielder's first career hit.The best part about all of this? The family you see going insane is Williams' family. Listen to what his mom has to say about this awesome moment.

Masahiro Tanaka has dealt with so many setbacks and wrestled so many doubts over the past year, it's easy to forget what a transcendent talent he is. With another stellar start Tuesday night, the New York Yankees ace reminded us all.
In one of the better pitching showcases you're likely to see—Tanaka versus Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals—Tanaka came out on top with seven strong innings of five-hit, one run ball in a 6-1 Yankees win.
Since coming off the disabled list June 3, Tanaka has gone 2-0, allowing just two ...
The New York Yankees pitching staff has taken another hit, this time in the bullpen with closer Andrew Miller being placed on the disabled list.

Miller Could Miss Up to a Month
Friday, June 12
"Miller will be shut down for about two weeks, then start a throwing program. I guess, conservatively, it’ll be about a month," general manager Brian Cashman said, per Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News.
On June 10, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported Miller was headed to the disabled list.
Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network said Miller's MRI results ...
