The fan who caught it is a class act too. He said he wanted nothing for the ball, just for Jeter to have it. He said Jeter earned it and deserved it.

Just got back from the Yankee game with 2 of my sons and my wife, something I'll never forget. Pure pandemonium. As soon as the ball left the bat everyone in the stadium knew it was gone. I was in right field in the second tier perfect view, I'll see that ball arcing in my dreams. It was great!!!!!

The fan got 4 premium seats for every home game for the rest of the season, some autographed memorabilia and got to meet jeter in person!!!

I would have sold the ball at auction. No question about it.

I was also at the game on Saturday. It was the single most exciting game I've been to and I'm not a Yankee fan.

But he has to pay tax on this. That's not going to be easy to afford.

And how much did this cost the Yankees or Derek Jeter?

He probably could have met Jeter in person just to see if they wanted to work out a deal for the ball. Even if they did, he could just "change his mind" and sell it.

It's safe to say that Jeter is the first player to go 5 for 5 on the day he got his 3000th hit. What a memorable game!

Oops...Biggio did it. I guess Jeter will have to bat one more time.

congrats to Jeter!

I would say Mantle is 2nd as he had more competition than Ruth or Gehrig. And Dimaggio was overated but had a nice swing, actually probably the 2nd best next to Ted Williams. The pressure Jeter had and the clutch he came through with goes down second to none !

A Google search for the highest prices ever paid for a baseball showed:

Mark McGwire 70th Home Run Ball (1998) - $3,005,000

Babe Ruth All-Star Game Home Run Ball (1933) - $805,000

Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run ball (2007) - $752,467

Henry Aaron's 755th Home Run Ball (1976) - $650,000

Bonds' 73rd - $517,500

Murray's 500th - $500,000

Mantle's 500th - $250,000

McGwire's 500th - $250,000

Barry Bonds' Home run No. 755, the ball that tied the record (2007) - $186,750

Sosa's 66th - $175,000

Sammy Sosa's 66th homer (1999) - $172,500

Ruth's first at Stadium - $130,000

Fisk's Series shot - $120,000

Steve Bartman's foul ball that Chicago fans believe cost the Cubs a trip to the 2003 World Series was bought by someone who plans to destroy it (2003) - $106,600


I'm a huge fan of the Yankees and Jeter, but sorry, there's no way I would've given the baseball back.

To get your 3000th on a day like that...is just incredible. 5-5? HR for 3000? Game winning hit? Unreal.

I think Ruth would be the obvious #1 in Yankees history. He brought them their first title in 1923, and for that one, he didn't much help then either. I would say, IMHO, that that the greatest Yankees are:

(1) Babe Ruth
(2) Mickey Mantle
(3) Lou Gehrig
(4) Joe Dimaggio
(5) Yogi Berra
(6) Derek Jeter

Hard to imagine a better day for Jeter. Really fitting for the guy.

As for the top 6 Yankees of all time, I agree with the names listed above just not perhaps the order. Ruth, Gehrig, DiMag, Mantle, Berra and then Jeter.

Fun fact: Molitor is the only guy to get a triple for his 3,000's hit. Jeter being the greatest Yankee of all time is rediculous. He's a .300 hitter with minimal power and very overrated at SS. He's a great player, but Ruth / Gehrig / Mantle are top 3 Yanks of all time with Dimaggio possibly sneaking in there somewhere. Yanks have 1 title in the past 10 years, same as the Chisox / Marlins / Cardinals. Yanks were the team of the 90's, not 2000's. Boston has 2 in the 2000's, that's got to hurt the true Yankee fans out there.

Great game for Jeter. I think some are getting caught up in the moment though. He has been an incredible hitter in the post-season, but he is not the reason the Yankees won their rings. Without Mariano Rivera (under a 1.00 ERA in the post-season), Andy Pettite (19-10) and crazy as it sounds, Orlando Hernandez, Jeter's post-season numbers wouldn't amount to any rings.

My top five Yankees:

1. Gehrig
2. Ruth
3. Dimaggio
4. Mantle
5. Mariano Rivera

Someone back there said Dimaggio was over-rated but had a nice swing. I couldn't disagree more. He finished his career with 361 home runs and 369 strikeouts. Pretty incredible hitter.
