3000 for Jeter

The fan who caught it is a class act too. He said he wanted nothing for the ball, just for Jeter to have it. He said Jeter earned it and deserved it.

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..

Christian Lopez will receive four Champion Suite tickets for the remainder of the season and through the playoffs.

It's safe to say that Jeter is the first player to go 5 for 5 on the day he got his 3000th hit. What a memorable game!

Oops...Biggio did it. I guess Jeter will have to bat one more time.
