Chicago fans cheer at A-Rod getting hit by a pitch

Plenty of Yankee fans cheered also seeing Alex Rodriquez getting hit by a pitch.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The boo-birds came out in force again Tuesday for Alex Rodriguez.

But then something different — a swelling of cheers from the crowd in Chicago.

The fans let out a healthy roar after A-Rod was grazed on the elbow by a Chris Sale pitch in the third inning. And that did not sit well with Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

“There’s something wrong with that,” Girardi said after New York’s 3-2 loss to the White Sox. “I often think that it starts from the adults. And if it was their child, would they want them to be hit? Because the kids will only repeat what the adults do.”

A Rod deserves every ridicule he receives.

AND he does it in style: with a Home Run! Great News for Yankees Fans!

Jeter on Saturday became the 28th player in major league baseball history — and first Yankee in franchise history — to reach the 3,000-hit plateau when he homered to left against David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays in the third inning.
At 37 years, 13 days old, Jeter is the fourth-youngest player to reach 3,000 hits. Pete Rose had been the fourth-youngest at 37 years, 21 days. Ty Cobb is the youngest (34 years, 244 days), while Hank Aaron (36 years, 101 days) and Robin Yount (36, 359 days) both amassed 3,000 hits before their 37th birthday.
The last player to reach the 3,000-hit plateau was Houston Astros second baseman Craig Biggio, who accomplished the feat on June 28, 2007, when he singled off Colorado Rockies right-hander Aaron Cook.

Congratulations to Derek Jeter!
