Wow! What a Steiner deal. $2500 for a handshake, autograph and of course a ticket

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.

Full disclosure: I'm definitely not a Yankees fan, but let's give Jeter credit where credit is due for his charitable work....

Admittedly, from reading that article, Jeter does seem to give back to the community. Kudos to him for that. I didn't realize he was that charitable. My disdain for MLB just spilled over to him. While I consider most of them whiny babies I am sure there are many good-hearted players too.
The price of $2500 does seem like a lot of money though and makes me think of greed....sorry, that is the way I feel. Kind of makes me think of trying to take the family to a MLB game (if I even wanted to). Good luck on that expense. But I am sure Jeter's and other players gazillion dollar salaries have nothing to do with that. It's not their fault though...I would take the money if I were them too.
