With his 2,874th career hit on Sunday, New York Yankees great Derek Jeter surpassed baseball legend Babe Ruth in career hits. The historic hit came from an RBI single during the second inning of a 7-2 Yankees defeat of the Boston Red Sox. Jeter, who acknowledged all the excitement with a simple tip of the helmet, now ranks 39th on the all-time list of MLB career hit leaders. “Obviously Babe Ruth means a lot to baseball, especially to this organization, so anytime you get a chance to pass him in anything it’s special,” said Jeter. “It’s not like it was a goal of mine because I was unaware of it but it feels good once you accomplish it.” A 5-time World Series champion, World Series MVP, and 11-time All-Star, Jeter is no stranger to amazing levels of success. This latest record is icing on the cake of what is already a great MLB career.

Thirty-four year old golfing great Tiger Woods is still the highest-paid American athlete, according to a recent analysis by Sports Illustrated. Despite having been bombarded by the media for months because of his highly publicized marital infidelity, Woods is still earning above $90 million per year. Woods lost various high-profile endorsements earlier this year, including that of Gatorade, because of all the negative media attention that surrounded him. Because of his lost sponsorships, he is down $22 million from last year, but he still ranks above such athletes as Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. A 14-time Majors champion , Woods has been ranked as the World’s number 1 golfer since June of 2005. He is the all-time leader in most accumulated weeks ranked at Number 1, with 609. He is undeniably one of the most accomplished athletes in the world, and he currently seems to be returning to top form. So it is not too surprising that he is still the highest-earning American athlete.

With autographed Tiger Woods memorabilia, you can celebrate the career of one of the greatest American athletes of all time.

Although they wish him the best of luck in his personal issues, Proctor & Gamble Co. is unsure of Tiger Woods’ future in Gillette commercials.  Hot off his recent public apology, Woods is still no longer appearing in commercials for the brand.  He was previously a major athletic spokesperson for Gillette, along with Derek Jeter and Roger Federer.  Recent commercials, however, have featured Jeter and Federer, sans-Tiger.

Proctor & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald has said that they “don’t need the distraction” of using Woods in their advertising.  He furthermore stated that they’ve “got lots of great spokespeople.”

Everybody is waiting to find out when Tiger will return to golf and which sponsors will keep him aboard.  However, you don’t have to wait to own authentic Tiger Woods memorabilia.  Hollywood Collectibles offers Tiger Woods memorabilia all year round, including such items as autographed photos, framed tournament tickets, and a framed game-used glove swatch.  All items come with a certificate of authenticity.  Purchase your Tiger Woods collectibles or any other sports memorabilia from Hollywood Collectibles today.
