He's done it, Dear Roxy! Dere Jeter tied the Iron Horse for most hits ever(!) by a Yankee!!! How great of a feat that is. I even got a little teary eyed, I won't lie.

He'll try to break that long-standing record tonight. The record that has stayed untouched, until Wednesday, since 1939. To think of all the great players that have put on a Yankee uniform and to have Derek Jeter be the one standing with most (almost) hits says a lot about him. Congrats, Derek! Looking forward to many more records broken - starting tonight!

What I love most about his record-tying feat is what people are saying about him. How much respect they have for him (except for Rice. Weirdo.) Even a Red Sox player/fan can see that (except for Rice).

Anyway, speaking of baseball, I went to a Brewers game in Milwaukee this past weekend! The game in which the Brewers turned their first triple-play in 10 years! It was exciting and fun to watch. I left in the 8th inning so I couldn't see the game-winning home run by Prince Fielder. But I watched SportsCenter and saw the way the celebrated at home plate. It looks like those guys really know how to have some fun!

Oh, you know what's fun about Miller Park? The sausage and mini sausage race! And not to mention the great atmosphere and great ballpark. Sort of reminds me of LandShark Stadium - NOT!

And a big Congratulations to Michael Air Jordan for his induction into the NBA Hall of Fame! He is truly the best player this sport has ever seen! They should've enshrined him the day he retired! And we can't forget about David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and Vivian Stringer. What a great class!

I'm still sad about all the speculation surrouding South Africa runner Caster Semenya who pulled out of a race amid her gender speculation. Truly sad.
