On June 19, 2015 At Yankee Stadium, Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees joins the 3,000 hit club with a 1st-inning homer off a Justin Verlander 95 MPH Fastball of the Detroit Tigers. He becomes the 29th member of the club, and the third to do so with a long ball, after Wade Boggs and his former teammate Derek Jeter, who had been the last player to collect the milestone hit in 2011.
“@Yankeefan98 I’ll give him the finger and a dummy ball. That man deserves favors from no one, least of all a fan.” – Zack Hample, a Tweet from the fan who caught A-Rod’s 3000th hit. Zack Hample, the author of How to Snag Major League Baseballs: More Than 100 Tested Tips That Really Work, catches Alex Rodriguez’s 3,000th hit. Hample, not a big fan of the New York slugger, will hold on to the historic horsehide for a week, before receiving perks from the Yankees for catching the ball, including getting the team to donate a significant amount of money to Pitch In for Baseball, a children charity that gives equipment to the underprivileged kids.
