Arguably one of the greatest players to put on a Yankee uniform celebrates his birthday today.

Derek Jeter turned 38 today, but on the field he looks like hes 25 again.

Jeter has started 2012 off at an unbelievable pace. He had 37 hits in 95 at bats with a .389 average in April. It was one of his best starts to a season in his career.

Derek seemed to take off after he recovered from his hamstring injury back in 2011. He went down to Tampa and adjusted his stance and every since he's been hitting a hot bat.

Jeter would collect his 3,000th hit in grand style with a home run to left field off of David Price.

Derek Jeter is one of those players that you rarely see come around.

Happy birthday, Derek.
