A few crazy things:

• His 3,000th hit was a homerun, despite the fact that he had not homered in Yankee Stadium in almost a year.
• The only other person to hit a homer for hit 3,000 was Wade Boggs, also not a homerun hitter.
• Jeter is the fourth youngest player to get 3,000 hits. Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader, was 8 days older than Jeter is now when he got his.
• After a rush of players getting to 3,000 in the early 2000s, no one had in over 4 years since Craig Biggio did.
• Biggio only had over 200 hits once in a season. Jeter has had 200 hits or more in seven seasons. 
• Most amazingly, Jeter is the first player ever to get hit number 3,000 in a Yankee uniform.
