This sums it up about Jeter and 3000

Is this a great country, or what?

Mr. Steiner certainly thinks so.

My 30-something dentist said he had a $750,000 student load debt when he graduated. But, don't worry, last time I saw him he had it down to $500,000.

Jeter signed 1000 items in 90 minutes? Man, he's a fast puppy...

Foolish people worship the wrong things.

There is only one person that truly should be worshipped, and he will be back sometime to prove it.

That does "Sum it all up."

I'm new here, but I'm sure I saw a rule about no "fairytale nonsense" sort of posts. Or politics.

Jeter is a wealthy man. He does not need to be peddling over-priced Steiner crap. It is crap because all of Steiner's memorabilia is grossly over-priced and the man will do anything for a dollar. Just because people in the hobby will pay for some of the items he peddles, doesn't mean he should be producing them. Everyone has ethics. I cannot imagine dealing with him. Every year I go to Spring Training and I listen to Jeter and other stars on the Yankees talk about how much they can't stand the dealers, who are "dirtbags" desperate for autographs so they can sell them. Ten minutes later Jeter's in the clubhouse signing baseballs for Steiner. But that's different because HE gets paid.

If this was truly a special moment for Jeter and the culmination of his career, why was his first priority to sign baseballs for Steiner? If Jeter was a nice guy, he wouldn't have a deal with Steiner to begin with. And he wouldn't be taking baseballs from the hands of children and signing the side panel because he "can't" sign the sweetspot. A classy guy would have told the man who caught the ball to keep it like Roger Maris did.
