On Saturday, June 9th, Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter made history & headlines making his 3,000th hit in his entire career with the NY team. Afterwards, the YES network did a mini interview with Jay-Z who just happened to be hanging out by the Yankee clubhouse, waiting to give his congratulations to Jeter. Hov says,
“I actually called it,” Jay-Z said. “I called it for the wrong side though. I thought he was gonna hit the short porch (in right), but he surprised everyone. “I taped (my prediction) as well, so I’m good.” Jay-Z said Jeter is in the “top tier” of great Yankees. “I’m a Yankees fan so I’ve known him. He’s my best friend,” Jay-Z joked. (ESPN)
