Jeter BM038683

Game used ball that Derek Jeter hit for career hit 3170, and career double 503. Jeter hit this 89.5 MPH Sinker from Tim Hudson to center fielder Michael Bourn to lead off the game. This ball was taken out of play after this double. The next batter, Curtis Granderson grounded out, advancing Jeter to third base, and Alex Rodriguez put the Yankees on the board by driving Derek Jeter home when he hit a single to Michael Bourn. Later on, in the sixth inning, Granderson again came to bat with Derek Jeter on base. This time Granderson hit a two-run home run, allowing Jeter to account for two of the Yankees three runs in a 3-2 victory over the Braves at Turner Field. The Yankees needed this win too, as it kept them one game ahead of the Orioles, and in first place with a 37-25 record.
