Facing the Seattle Mariners at the Kingdome, Jeter grounded a single to left off Tim Belcher to lead off the fifth inning.
A fun fact only I care about, both Jeter and Belcher played their Double-A ball in Albany 10-years apart but I digress.
The coolest moment, not only does Luis Sojo flip the ball in but Jeter is chatting it up with Tino Martinez at first base, all future teammates.
During the seventh inning, Jeter collected his second hit, a single to center, chasing Belcher from the game. Jeter would also score his first run that inning, on a Paul O’Neill single to left.
