Jeter's father, Dr. Charles Jeter, told the YES network that he liked the extra panache his son put on No.3,000. It was great, the father said. Everybody knows Derek is not a home run hitter. To get it with a home run, a little extra bang there, it was great.
Salmon P. Chase (1808-1873) was a U.S. senator, governor of Ohio and Supreme Court chief justice who served as the U.S. secretary of the Treasury during the Civil War (1861-65).
Salmon Portland Chase was born in 1808 in New Hampshire, the son of a farmer-manufacturer. His father died when he was nine and when he was 12, he was sent to Ohio to leave with his Uncle Philander where he was educated as schools his uncle headed until he was 15. Like Mr. Lincoln, he found farming chores distasteful.
