SLU grad catches Jeter’s 3,000th hit

by on July 9th, 2011

Christian Lopez, a St. Lawrence University graduate, caught the dramatic home run that was the New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit earlier today.  I heard him say something about Evans Mills and Watertown when he was being interviewed by Yankees’ broadcaster John Sterling on WCBS 880AM during the game.

I was in the shower as I was listening, so I didn’t catch everything, but I’ll try to post some of the audio tomorrow.  It’s really fun.  It was a dramatic moment for a baseball great, and an extra thrill to have a North Country connection.

Here’s what the Watertown Daily Times has on it.

    Here’s an interview with the happy and fairly stunned Mr. Lopez from the Yankees website. At the end of the video he mentions St. Lawrence University. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110709&content_id=21643770&vkey=news_nyy&c_id=nyy

    And if you watch the Yankees game on TV today, look for NCPR manager Ellen Rocco…she has seats somewhere up in the stands, along the first base line.
