Another night, another milestone for Derek Jeter.The New York Yankees shortstop led off the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a single, giving him 200 hits for the season.This is Jeter's eighth career 200-hit season, tying him with Lou Gehrig for the most by a Yankee. The first-inning single also extended Jeter's hitting streak to 13 games."It's a lot of hits," Jeter said after the Yankees' 2-1 win. "I've always felt that if I was healthy and I go out there and play every day, it's something I'd have a chance to do."Jeter, 38, is the oldest player to collect at least 200 hits in a season since Paul Molitor did so at age 40 in 1996. Jeter is the sixth-oldest player to reach the 200-hit plateau.
