But you should at least consider the simple fact Jeter does more charitable work than any other Major League Player today. I would be extremely surprised if he was pocketing his earnings from this meet and greet. He does most of his meet and greets for his Turn 2 Foundation.

Here is just one recent of a myriad of articles that discuss Jeter's considerable charitable efforts.

Steiner is making money from this, obviously. My point is that Jeter is unlikely to be pocketing his share of the $25,000 that he will raise through this.
