before he gave the ball away he should have had a talk with steiner.... steiner prolly would have gotten him 1% share of ballclub.... the organazation knows they "stole" the ball from a fan... jeter makes 17 mill a year? that one game is more than 2 years salary for the fan and he gets what? the fans have to learn how to be greedy like the players... that ball was a lottery winning....just pisses me off how they take advantage of fans.... the players are probably having a good laugh...

Shocking as it might be, the fan's gesture seems to be a noble one, and he wanted all along to give the ball to Jeter.
Though he probably knew he was giving away a lot of money, he did not care.
Of all the people inolved in the $$$3000$$$ hit moment he is the one who comes out looking as good as anyone.

Players having a good laugh at a gesture by a person who probably feels pretty good about himself for what he did??!! Seems to me that if that is the case, I feel pretty sorry for those players. I suspect this person has a pretty good sense of what its all about and what gives a person true meaning and happiness in life.

Jeter will sell tons of memorabilia related to his 3000th hit --- and make a ton of money from it. Yet this guy is 'noble' for giving the ball to Derek for free? The Yankees refused to give up one game's receipts as a gesture to their fans who missed Friday's game due to a rainout because, as Cashman said, 'we run a baseball business" -- yet this guy is 'noble' for giving the ball to Derek for free? What a double standard. Jeter should have either given the guy a significant sum of cash or set up some trust for the guy's future kids or SOMETHING. Why is that a fan has to be noble to get respect but Jeter and the Yankees can continue to be pigs at the trough -- and we all expect such behavior?

Jeter giving the guy some serious money would have been the right thing to do but do you really expect that will happen?
Probably not.

I think its pretty bad how some of you are acting and blaming the Yankees and Jeter for no reason. The guy didn't want money, he knew what it is worth before hand. So after the guy said no to money, Jeter nor the Yankees should have to give money.

Jeter didn't take advantage of shit, the guy gave him the ball. So why should Jeter then give money for when he didnt ask for anything... End of story

Did you see my post, Brock? Durante didn't want any money, either.

Maris knew the right thing to do.

I'm not sure the guy knew how much that ball was worth... Not everybody knows the crazy money people pay for these things.

1% of the Yankees or being noble?

I'm thinking...


The guy gave Jeter the baseball because he "earned it." While he was earning it, he's made 100x more money than you will probably make in your life. I'm sorry, but as much as I want to be "noble," why would you just give it away? You could give it to Jeter, but at least work something out that's better than tickets for the rest of the season.

jeter makes roughly 35k an at bat... 5 at bats for the day=175,000 noble indeed... shameful... its outright theft, the yankees and jeter knew how valuable that ball is/was and offering tickets for the remaining games is criminal, without being represented by counsel. the yankee motto should be TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FANS... and by the way did the season tickets include free parking?

At least the fan wasn't at Dodger Stadium, he would have had to throw the ball back in

Wow, guess Jeter should have just drag bunted a single for his 3000th hit.

Would have made things much less complicated I guess.

Now he's a villain for not paying auction house high market value to get his ball back from a fan who wanted nothing in return.

It's too bad that number 3000 didn't look something like Fausto Carmona last week.

That's right. He's a villain for taking advantage of the poor schmuck.

Remember 1961? (I know fifty years is a long time.) Sal Durante, who caught Maris' 61st, offered to give it to Maris, even though a California restaurateur had a standing offer of $5k for the ball. Maris wouldn't accept the ball, and told Durante--who was about to get married and start a family--to sell it.

Class acts, all around.

Default Jeter's 3000th

Just a repeat of what most have said on here, is my opinion as well. Sell the 3000 hit ball. These multi, multi, multi million dollar players could afford to buy there ball for millions if they wanted it that bad. My guess is they wouldn't want it that bad anyway. Jeter already has the 3000th hit Jersey and bat anyway. Look at all the major awards and equipment the major sports stars put up at auction anyway. Many who won them no longer care to own most of it. From there Gold glove, MVP award, world series trophy & ring, ect. Most of it ends up at the auction block, because the players themselves realize how insane of prices people will pay. It's kind of funny how badly people want awards that were not won by themselves also. Yes, I realize it's there hero that they look up to them. Whatever makes people Happy!

Can others share stories of players and capitalizing on there memorabilia? One that comes to mind for me is when Pete Rose was going to break Ty Cobb's record, I heard he wore a different uniform each inning to sell them. Is this true?
