What would you have done if you caught Jeter's 3000th hit?

Since we're all discussing this situation, I thought it might be worthwhile to have a poll.

I would sell it in a heartbeat. The ball means absolutely nothing to me, and I'm not completely sure it means all that much to Jeter either. He has enough mementos from his career.

Jeter made a he'll of a lot of money from the sale of 3000 hit item. If he wanted the ball he could buy it

No question that I would want it to end up in Derek's hands. That being said, I would work out a great deal that would involve game used Jeter and Mariano Rivera items and cash. I would try to negotiate in a friendly, civil way where I didn't come off as a terrorist.

If I was not able to work out a satisfactory deal, I would put the ball up for auction, without hesitation....

Couldn't agree more with this.

I think its going to end up in the Yankees museum at the stadium. I would have sold it via auction, if the Yankees wanted it that bad, they could have topped the bids.

If that's the case, it better come with a plaque for the donater...because that's what he did....donated a million dollar baseball.

I'd put it up for auction. Jeter can bid with the rest.

Yeah, Id hope a plaque, maybe a pic w Jeter and Mr Lopez. Far as a "Million dollar ball", thats a bit optimistic, tho I think you were at least partly kidding.
