TWEETS ARE WATCHING: Athletes Congratulate Derek Jeter Via Twitter

Derek Jeter hits number 3000 and Twitter fills with congrats from other ballers

After Derek Jeter made his 3000th hit Saturday at Yankee Stadium, his fellow baseball players and other athletes alike took to Twitter to congratulate him.  I especially love pitcher David Price‘s tweets, who pitched the historic ball to Jeter and became a trending topic because of it.

Check out some of the tweets below:

Not gonna lie giving up #3000 to someone stinks...at least it was to Jeter...classy guy, deserves everything he has (my mom is prolly happy)
