Shocking as it might be, the fan's gesture seems to be a noble one, and he wanted all along to give the ball to Jeter.
Though he probably knew he was giving away a lot of money, he did not care.
Of all the people inolved in the $$$3000$$$ hit moment he is the one who comes out looking as good as anyone.
