posté par MC Jean Gab1 : | Top stats to know: Jeter's final home game
Derek Jeter has called Yankee Stadium (both of them) home in some respects for nearly 20 full seasons. The relationship between Jeter and the most famous baseball ballpark will come to an end tonight when the Yankees conclude their home schedule against the Baltimore Orioles.
Jeter’s history in that hallowed home is noteworthy in many respects. It was home to many of his most famous moments. But beyond the moments, Jeter also put up very impressive numbers in the Bronx. Here’s a quick runthrough.
• Jeter has a .313 career batting average in games played in the Yankee Stadiums.
Among players with at least 2,000 at-bats at the ballparks known as Yankee Stadium, Jeter ranks tied for fifth-highest, trailing the Hall of Fame quartet of Babe Ruth (.349), Lou Gehrig (.329), Earle Combs (.326) and Joe DiMaggio (.315).
• Jeter’s .313 average in the Bronx ballparks matches that of another iconic, lifelong Yankees player - Don Mattingly.
• Jeter played at the original Yankee Stadium from 1995 to 2008. The Elias Sports Bureau found out no other player in major-league history batted .320 or higher, with at least 100 homers and at least 100 steals at any particular stadium like Jeter did.
• Jeter's career statistics at the original Yankee Stadium included a .322 batting average, 106 home runs and 152 stolen bases. He holds the record for most career hits there with 1,274. He has 450 hits at the new Yankee Stadium, 28 behind leader Robinson Cano.
• Jeter's first homer at Yankee Stadium didn't come until his 39th game there (June 5, 1996 off Toronto's Pat Hentgen). It took him nine plate appearances (two games) to homer at the new Yankee Stadium.
• Jeter's first home game was on June 2, 1995, against the Angels. They lost (and Baltimore won) to drop into last place in the AL East, where they more-or-less remained for the rest of the homestand. Until May 2008, those had been the only non-April games (when everyone's 0-1) that Jeter ever played with the Yankees in last place.
• Jeter had 22 four-hit games at home. The most recent came on July 9, 2011 against the Tampa Bay Rays when he went 5-for-5, including the 3,000th hit of his career.
• The Captain never struck out four times in a home game.
• Jeter has played five home games on his birthday (June 26) and had a hit in all of them. He joins Bob Meusel (1920-30) as the only Yankees who can say that, and one of Meusel's birthdays was a doubleheader.
• Jeter played his 1,000th and 2,000th career games at home, hitting a home run in both of them. Elias notes that only one other player in the modern era can say that: Jim Rice .
• Jeter has six regular-season walk-off hits. The only Yankees player with more in the last 20 seasons is Alex Rodriguez with seven.
• Jeter hit .332 with 12 home runs and 107 hits in 80 postseason home games (roughly the equivalent of half a major league season).
• Jeter’s 107 postseason hits in his home park are 48 more than the player with the next-most (Bernie Williams), which is logical given that Jeter’s entire career came in the wild card era.
But Jeter’s 1.34 postseason hits per home game ranks fourth-best among those who played in at least 20 postseason home games. He trails Steve Garvey (1.52) and Hall of Famers Frank Frisch (1.36) and George Brett (1.35)
• Jeter has hit only two walk-off home runs in his career, one in the regular season against the Red Sox in 2005 and one in the postseason against the Diamondbacks in 2001 (the one that earned him the “Mr. November” nickname).
• Jeter joins the battery of Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada as the only players to have been on the field at two different Yankee Stadiums when the Yankees won a World Series.
• Derek Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium will be the first he's ever played there with the Yankees eliminated from postseason contention.
• Taking into account average yearly home attendance figures for the Yankees and Jeter’s home games played per year, approximately 60 million tickets have been sold for games in which Jeter played in the Bronx.
• Jeter has played in games lasting approximately 278,000 minutes at Yankee Stadium, combining regular season and postseason. That's more than 193 days of baseball.
• The Yankees are 863-520 in regular season homes games that Jeter has started (.624 winning percentage). They are 50-30 (.625 winning percentage) in the 80 postseason home games he started.
