Good for him. I usually hate Yankees fans (and i hate Jeter) but that was a good move.

[DwightShrute]

So if you found a lottery ticket on the ground you wouldn't cash it in??

exactly

[The Bet Master]

Did you see how much stuff this guy ended up getting? He probably got 100K worth of stuff at least.

edit: tickets he got only worth 60K

[stevenash]

Barry Bonds Homerun #756 Ball Sold at $752,467 so yes you could be right. Maybe a cool Million or half million at least
He must be mentally challenged or is it possible he's a "spread the wealth" type of guy?

2 things.

1) Bonds ball is much more valuable, that ball broke the home run record, what Jeter did today was accomplished 27 other times.
Which ball would you say is more valuable?

2) The people who had 3/4 million dollars to spend on Bonds ball, probably don't have 3/4 million today for baseballs.

fair enough. I was caught up a little in the whole thing .... but regardless, its worth something pretty nice. 250K perhaps? maybe more. It's a huge house with a swimming pool in Costa Rica that a Verizon salesman just simply gave away. Here ya go .. take it. Call me crazy

[str]

Someone from ESPN was saying yesterday that the ball was expected to bring about 400K at auction if it came to that.

[FrozenMAN]

Gave it back.

The yankees insisted on giving him 4 Legends suites tickets for the rest of the year.

And signed bats and balls

Fukk that. i would of sold to the highest bidder

I have met jeter in the yankees team hotel on the road. guy is a prikk. he woulda had to pay up

+1 TOTALLY AGREE WITH YA DUDE......IF ITS SUPPOSEDLY WORTH 250K I WANT 250K OR **** OFF.....COULD BE ANYBODY'S HOMER, EVEN THE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD, BUT I WANT MY MONEY

AS I SAID BEFORE, TYPICAL FAT, LOUD, OBNOXIOUS **** FROM NYC BEING A RETARD...

what is someone gonna do with 50 different bat and balls autographed, even if sell em worth at most like 10g.....and going to the suites, big whoop.......when a guy wants a # they make offers 10000000x better than that one...150k minimum

[FrozenMAN]

im curious. why would you feel guilty. you think jeter gives a fukk about you. he wouldnt piss on ya if you were on the side of the road on fire.

i know, the comments in this thread are TOTAL BULLSHIT AND FUCKIN AWFUL....everyone on this site knows that if they caught that ball and had the opportunity to sell it for atleast 175k, they'd take that in a second and if you keep insisting that you wouldn't then you are probably the stupidest person out there

CASE AND POINT GENTLEMEN!

Yes.
He could have gotten 200K in goodies.

[FrozenMAN]

thanks lou, finally someone with a brain here besides the bronker who i agree with

[chantrain]

edit: tickets he got only worth 60K

who gives a fuk about tickets? jesus christ, give me 200K and I'll watch the damn games on TV.

this guy was lucky as hell to catch that ball and he squandered it. I'd rather someone smart have caught it.

[jjgold]

Jeter would not of gave the guy a dime

He is very cheap

[frankzig]

kid will get an lawyer monday morning and claim he didnt realize the value etc etc

[InTheDrink]

Kid will regret his stupidity for YEARS

as for jeter being a fuk, who cares? Guy lives the dream life. Yankee fan or not jeter is the man

[MUHerd37]

Gonna regret that later on. Damn ball was worth some nice coin.

[crustyme]

anyone remember the groundskeeper who returned mcgwire's record breaking 62nd hr ball?

he received a minivan in return.

[LVHerbie]

LOL... I would have had it at an auction house or on ebay within 24 hours...

[BigDan]

Some of you fuks really want us to believe how self riotous you are dont you?

Give it a rest with this "good for him" or "his mother raised him right" shit, his mother probably embarrassed as hell right now. You acting like taking the money would have been wrong How so?

Hell i would have sold the ball, sued Jeter for breaking my finger with the ball, and sued stadium for the trauma i had to go thru getting the ball to a safe place. If i won the lawsuits i would take the ball and light it on fire Hell they can put any ball in a case and tell the idiots that really wanna see some ball whatever they want about it. i seriously doubt Jeter gives a flying fukk about some ball, he seems to have a more interesting life than that of a sports memorabilia collector.







Before you get all crazy on me, i wouldnt sue simply because i hate lawyers, judges, courts, just pointing out the American way.

Kid has gotta be fukkin retarded. So while maybe his mother raised him right it was to late cause she was obviously smoking crack while she was pregnant.

[tblues2005]

There isn't many fans like this anymore. I respect this guy for this. The team will treat him well. Season tickets are worth it itself guys.

[Doug]

That fan is a complete idiot, he will regret this move.

[BigDan]

you know what they say, there a sucker born every minute.

[onlooker]

Fuk that.

I would see dollar signs if I caught that ball. Nothing personal, just business man.

[Living The Dream]

What would 4 tickets to each game the rest of the season go for on stubhub?

[eidolon]

Bond's 756 ball would have gone for more if he was not hated on, and was thought (and correct) to be taking roids.
If Bond's was a yankee and no controversy over it, that ball have gone for double (1.5 mil).

So I think this ball would have gone for easily over 500k, and close to 1 mil.

[joe blow]

What a dumb fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Could of got 50k easy

[robotralph]

Guy would regret giving it away at in a couple years.

[LVHerbie]

There isn't many fans like this anymore. I respect this guy for this. The team will treat him well. Season tickets are worth it itself guys.

Someone making 40k a year given anything of value to someone making 20 Million a year is absurd... Guy should told management he would give them a call to let Jeter know when he was going to put it up for auction...

[Dark Horse]

That fan is a complete idiot, he will regret this move.

People like that get caught up in the moment. I think he said he wanted Jeter to have it because he worked so hard for it. lol No concept of money.

[cala56]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so lucky

[BigDan]

Someone making 40k a year given anything of value to someone making 20 Million a year is absurd... Guy should told management he would give them a call to let Jeter know when he was going to put it up for auction...

Hell i might even have been nice enough to give him 1st crack before auction (screw paying the auction house a big percent). Anything more generous than that is just ignorant.


god im just seeing this moron on Yes what a fukkin douche. "its his ball not mine", possession 9/10 of the law assclown.

Just saw these Baseball Tonight jerkoffs as well, who the fuk are these former players still sucking the mlb tit to be talking about that is the way a fan should be, go fukk yourselves you overpaid clowns. Jesus this is starting to make me sick to my stomach. Even if i was set for life i would auction that bitch and give it to charity before id give it to some over-privileged asshole for free.

[sunzal]

Jeter is a dick head. 6 or 7 years ago he was on a rehab stint at Trenton Thunder and my buddy had season tickets at the time so we got to the ball park early and waited by the dugout to get autographs. He was the only one in the dugout at the time and didn't even acknowledge us and walked back into the clubhouse. Point being I was like 14 or 15 at the time and the homo still wouldn't do it.

I'm pretty sure Jeter isnt gay you hateful homophobe....but if he was I bet he would have given you his autograph....them gays always seem to be nicer

[joesomebody114]

I'm pretty sure he just didn't realize exactly what the ball was worth. Maybe they told him he had to give the ball and he didn't know any better.

How much you think it might be worth Lou?

[vividjohn45]

yanks should come clean and give the guy several 100k's. insist upon it. meet the guy in the middle.

[MoneyM1ke]

What an ass Whats he going to do once he realizes the coin he could've made

[sweethook]

he could have said i want a house in ny or say 4 or 500k. and got it. fools will pay it , to me its worth $1.99
