3,000!

For Yankee fans, there’s nothing sweeter
Than a day like this,
When Yankee captain Derek Jeter
Brought each fan to bliss.

He homered for that special hit –
Three thousand! What a feat!
Then three more hammers, all legit,
Helped make his day complete.

For any player, 5 for 5
Must be the greatest feeling;
But not too many have that drive
Or are near as appealing.

So thank you, Derek, for your spark,
Your talent and your grace.
Today you really made your mark
At home, the perfect place.
