MLB Player Hits 3 Home Runs For Sick Child
Babe Ruth once hit a home run for a sick kid! Well Casey McGehee of the Milwaukee Brewers did it 3 times!

The Texas Rangers fans don't really like the ballpark tradition and now they are trying to ban it, but really what is the harm?
It will be hard to argue with it since the Umpire missed this one by a few thousand miles. To top it off it cost the Pittsburgh Pirates the game in a very close playoff race.
The Brockton Rox, a baseball team in the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball, is attempting to set a Guinness World Record by selling an $80 hot dog at their July 23rd home game.
Yankees short stop Derek Jeter is coming off of one of the biggest accomplishments that a major league baseball player can get, 3,000 hits. What better way to cap that off than making an appearance at the MLB all star game, except that he didn't.
The home run derby is a part of baseball that I have loved since I was a kid. The best of the best hitters doing nothing but hitting big homers into the stands. Last night one of my favorite players took this years crown.
On Saturday, July 9th 2011, 48,103 Yankee fans all simultaneously chanted their captain's name before every single pitch during the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "Derek Jeter!" *clap clap clap* "Derek Jeter!". Then, after every David Price pitch, nobody in the stadium took a breath of air until the pitch either met the catcher's glove or Derek put some wood on the ball.
When you go to a baseball game that is being nationally televised, you really have to be careful what you do when the camera is on you. Take this couple for instance and the play by play announcers reaction.
Yesterday Derek Jeter hit his 3,000th hit and it just happened to be a home run. Now there are a lot of people out there who would grab it up in hopes of either holding onto history or making a quick buck, but not one very luck Yankee fan.
What a day for Derek Jeter. He only needed 2 hits to reach the 3,000 mark and does what he has always done, perform above and beyond.
What makes it even worse is that it happened right in front of his son.
New York Yankee captain Derek Jeter is almost at a career and Yankee milestone, and we could see it happen in the next two games. It's crazy to think this great career began right here in the Albany area.
