Derek Jeter has broken Lou Gehrig’s record for the most hits at Yankee Stadium. His record breaking 1,270th hit in the Bronx reminded everybody just how special Jeter really is.

“He’s a true Yankee,” manager Joe Girardi said. “I think he embodies what baseball people want to see in a player: a guy that goes about his business the right way. He stays out of the headlines. He just does a lot of great things. He’s important to the community. He gives back all the time, to children, to everyone.”

After the game Jeter wasn’t as excited as he should have been because his team ended up losing to the White Sox, 6-2. But he wanted to thank all of his fans for their support throughout the years.

“It’s kind of hard to enjoy because we lost the game,” Jeter said. “But I definitely appreciate everything the fans have done. They’ve been great my entire career.”
