What I also like is that Jeter's uni has DIRT all over it. Just like the way he has always played.

There is nothing classy about giving the ball back to a multi millionaire for free. Thats just retarded.

Not all of us are money grubbing whores. He valued the experience more than the money.

You could have flown anywhere on DL for life, though.

Wouldn't it be something if Jeter got a triple... thus completing the cycle?

That ever been done before? Cycle on the day a player hits for 3,000?

You are whats wrong with the world. frickING GREED!!!! MONEY has NOTHNG to do with the JETER part of this. Now the dude could have held ransom on the Ball. But chose to do what HE thought was right. He said Jeter earned it and desrved the ball. I se NOTHING wrong with it.

There's a kid in Texas that would pay anything to enjoy another baseball game with his family like this guy who caught the ball.

Just saying...

Again, I don't see anything wrong with him selling it. Just that some people value the experience more than the money.

That money isn't everything to some people. The interview with the guy who caught the ball he basically said he enjoyed the experience.

I would have given it back for lifetime tickets plus a few autographed things and a chance to be on field during old timers game so I can get autographs....
