Jeter passes Molitor for 8th on the career hits list.

[Austin]

Derek Jeter today passed Paul Molitor for 8th place on the career hits list.
He should pass Yaz and Wagner this season and retire 6th on the list.

1. Pete Rose 4,256
2. Ty Cobb 4,189
3. Hank Aaron 3,771
4. Stan Musial 3,630
5. Tris Speaker 3,514
6. Honus Wagner 3,420
7. Carl Yastrzemski 3,419
8. Derek Jeter 3,320
9. Paul Molitor 3,319
10. Eddie Collins 3,315

(Cap Anson had an estimated 3,435 hits, but ESPN and other sports outlets did not include him because he's pre-1900.)

Hope he doesn't pass Yaz But congrats to Jeter for passing Molitor...one helluva achievement.

Looks like Jeter will finish his career at #6 all-time. He has a chance at #5 but will have to stay healthy and put together a great season.

I wouldn't count him out for a 200 hit season which would put him top 5. He's still an unbelievable hitter.

Congrats Jeter. I also think he will end up 6th.

I still love watching him hit and run up the totals. I wish he would hang around for another couple of seasons!

At this point passing any players will not be that much significant. His card already way overprice since the retire announcement. I wait till next year when people get tired talking about him and move on to the next young & up coming Shortstop rookies. That when is good time to buy his auto for lot cheaper than is now.
