Derek Jeter and Lou Gehrig are tied at the top.Jeter matched the New York Yankees record for hits with a seventh-inning single Wednesday night against Tampa Bay. Jeter's third hit of the game gave him 2,721 in a Yankees uniform, tying a mark held by Gehrig for more than 70 years.
"It's just kind of mind-boggling to know my name is next to his," Jeter said after the Yankees' 4-2 victory.
Jeter had a chance to break the record in the eighth inning, but he walked against reliever Grant Balfour.
The Yankees are off Thursday, and Jeter will get his next opportunity Friday night at home against Baltimore.
