I was able to participate in one such event several years back with Don Newcomble but that was a charity fundraiser and we got to spend several hours with Newk at Dodgers Stadium, got lunch at the stadium club, and got to see the game from the executive level. But to hand a guy who made about a quarter of a billion dollars another chunk of hard-earned money just to shake my hand and sign one autograph? As some of the residents of the surrounding area might say "fugedaboudit."
There is one simple remedy: refuse to participate. Steiner has to pay Jeter regardless, so if no one buys the 'event' then they will lose their shirts and learn not to try something like this again.
