She seems like the type of person who loves baseball for the game, not how much a cardboard picture of player or a jersey she won is worth. Kudos to her.

She's a better person than me.
Seriously, I'm glad she's happy and I would be, too. But I think when a game used jersey is promised, a game used jersey should be delivered. As I say, Zimmerman will be wearing more jerseys in the playoffs, so the promise to this lady could be kept, if the Nats and MLB chose to do so.
This isn't about whether the fan handles the situation well (which she does.) It's about how the Nats/MLB handled it, which was, in my opinion, not 100% right.
