Derek Jeter has become the 28th Major League Baseball player and first New York Yankee to get 3,000. Jeter's career milestone came on a home run Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The 37-year-old Yankee captain is the fourth-youngest player to reach the milestone, and only the second ever to do so with a home run.

Jeter, a Yankee since 1995, singled to lead off for the Yankees in the first inning before homering off Tampa Bay ace David Price with a long shot to the left-field bleachers in the third.

The veteran Yankee shortstop returned to the lineup recently after missing several weeks with a strained calf muscle. He is the first major leaguer to reach the 3,000-hit plateau since Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros in 2007.
