3000 for Jeter

Hi Michael- good to see you posting again. Hope you are well.

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.

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.

I tried to snap a pic as he was swinging.. hit the button to early.. but I got the ball halfway from the pitcher to home plate right before he crushed the homer... check it out..

Swing batter!!!!! Nice pix. I'm in second tier in right field second person in from the left edge of your picture 12 rows up (I think).

That is a pretty cool shot!

I was talking to my friends over the weekend about what if one of us had caught the ball. Of course, it's a great gesture to just give the ball to Jeter, but I don't think I would have. A future HOFer has been very fortunate in his life. God given talent, his health, the opportunity to play on winning teams, and the ability to provide for his family. Jeter has taken full advantage of all the good fortune he's come into in his life. I think catching that ball, selling it, and being able to provide for my family would be no different. Just my two cents.

Nice shot - it shows the stadium, and all the fans with cameras waiting to capture the moment. That's the kind of shot I like to take.
