Whichever list you go by Jeter’s in remarkable company. The names he’s stacked up with are all-time greats.

That costs him about 423 hits and knocks him down to 3011 on their list. That is much more reasonable, tho I still have to think about which list consider “THE LIST”

I assume MLB doesn’t include him because he played before 1900.

Also, for whatever reason, B-R has Honus Wagner at only 3420 hits, so Jeter passed Yaz and tied Honus last night on their list.

Depending on who you follow, he’s either 11 hits (MLB) or 16 hits (B-R) away from being solo in sixth place.
