I would have kept the ball for myself and sold it, probably to a private collector rather than at auction. I would think a private collector would pay above the projected auction price just to keep the ball from going to auction.

Reasoning: Jeter has been extremely fortunate in his life. He has God given talent, good health, the opportunity to play on a winning team, and the ability to provide for his family. He has taken full advantage of all of those opportunities.

Why should I feel any different for being fortunate enough to catch the ball?

alot of people seem to think he will owe a ton in taxes because he got the box seats and such..but could he not claim a huge loss because the ball was worth far more than what he got????

anywho i would say here is the deal jeter you get to buy it for $250,000 plus any taxes i may owe on the ball....

Default Christian Lopez

I went to my son's Little League All Star game and Christian Lopez was there working for Modells Sporting Goods. Modells offered him a job (not sure what his official function is) and now he is a kind of celebrity. Yankee fans were lining up to take a picture with him.
