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.

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. |

At the end of the day, the kid walked out with more than he came in with. Can't be too greedy. I'm sure Derek will give him an undisclosed check just to quiet the local sports radio guys (WFAN).
And as for A-ROD, there is no way he was every detrimental to the team. Guy was rock solid 95% of his time as a Yankee.

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. Last edited by barrysloate; 07-09-2011 at 03:09 PM. |

Yes really ! He brought the Yankees out of the worst years of their lives, no Jeter no world championships. Yes he had help but nothing like Ruth, Dimaggio, or Mantle had. 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 !
