I bet a lot of the people who would participate are corporate people looking to schmooze and impress their clients by letting them meet Jeter. What's $2500 to a company trying to do a multi-million dollar deal?
Steiner probably preys on corporate minds in NYC for a chunk of their business for events like this, would be my guess... |

Chum is pretty cool. Seems like a guy that you would have a great time meeting. "Big Hoss" seems like a total dick to me. |

Derek Jeter
You guys have already made up your minds about Jeter. And you are of course free to hate modern celebrities who make millions of dollars playing a child's game.
But you should at least consider the simple fact Jeter does more charitable work than any other Major League Player today. I would be extremely surprised if he was pocketing his earnings from this meet and greet. He does most of his meet and greets for his Turn 2 Foundation. Here is just one recent of a myriad of articles that discuss Jeter's considerable charitable efforts. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseb...ek-jeter_N.htm

Steiner is making money from this, obviously. My point is that Jeter is unlikely to be pocketing his share of the $25,000 that he will raise through this.

Full disclosure: I'm definitely not a Yankees fan, but let's give Jeter credit where credit is due for his charitable work.... Last edited by Scott Garner; 04-14-2012 at 07:16 AM. |

Admittedly, from reading that article, Jeter does seem to give back to the community. Kudos to him for that. I didn't realize he was that charitable. My disdain for MLB just spilled over to him. While I consider most of them whiny babies I am sure there are many good-hearted players too. The price of $2500 does seem like a lot of money though and makes me think of greed....sorry, that is the way I feel. Kind of makes me think of trying to take the family to a MLB game (if I even wanted to). Good luck on that expense. But I am sure Jeter's and other players gazillion dollar salaries have nothing to do with that. It's not their fault though...I would take the money if I were them too.

If you don't want to spend $2500.00 to meet and greet Jeter, then don't. Those who can afford to, and want to, pay. It's really that simple. |

Yeah--I read them both. Not much hard info in either. And neither of them claimed he does "more charitable work than any other Major League Player today."
Reading critically is quite a useful skill. Last edited by David Atkatz; 04-14-2012 at 09:35 PM. |
