By patrick bohn Derek Jeter is on the verge of becoming the New York Yankees' all-time hits leader, topping Lou Gehrig, a statistic that isn't so much incredible as it is slightly hard to believe. Mickey Mantle averaged a mere 135 games played as a Yankee, and his career average of .298 didn't help. But like Ge...
