According to Baseball Reference, Jeter has made $205,430,000 in his career to date. And he is being paid $15 million this year. That is only his Yankee salary and does not include his endorsements. Most of us will not make $15 million in our entire working career. I would sell the ball, pay the taxes, and use the remaining money to put my kids through college. If I have anything left over, I might take in a major league game and splurge on a hotdog and a beer. I have nothing against Jeter, but that's too much money to give away.
