This season when the Yankees win their 43rd game it will be the 9,500th in the history of the Highlanders/Yankees Franchise. This caused me to think “what milestones are the individual players on pace to reach this year?” The results are as follows.
Jorge Posada:
-12 hits away from 1,500
-36 RBIs away from 1,000- Mark Teixeira:
-34 HRs away from 300
-102 RBI away from 900 - Robinson Cano:
-1 double away from 200
-13 HRs away from 100 - Derek Jeter:
-191 plate appearences away from 10,000 - Alex Rodriguez:
-389 plate appearences away from 10,000
-17 HRs away from 600
-3 SBs away from 300 - Brett Gardner:
-4 hits away from 100 (that’s something right?) - Curtis Granderson:
-1 RBI away from 300 - Nick Swisher:
-63 runs away from 500 - Andy Pettitte:
-Would have to stay healthy all year, but 32 appearences away from 500
-73.2 IP away from 3000 - A.J. Burnett:
-27 SO away from 1,500 - CC Sabathia:
-12 starts away from 300
-110.2 IP away from 2,000
-10 SO away from 1,600 - Javier Vazquez:
-15 starts away from 400
-10 IP away from 2,500 - Mariano Rivera:
-24 Svs away from 550
Milestones are always fun to follow and countdown, and this season Yankee fans have a lot of them to look foward to. All hopefully resulting in the biggest milestone of all Yankees Championship number 28.
I love it. Thanks for the milestones. Something to look forward too … before #28!
No problem Jose thank you very much for reading! Hope to see you back here soon! Go Yanks!!!
I guess the best one to look forward to is Arod’s 600th.
