Guy that caught jeter ball didnt want anything for the ball

[Deuce]

This guy's mother raised him right.

[Nicky Santoro]

i heard on the radio last night that the ball will be worth roughly 400,000$. i wonder if this kid knew this? wait till he goes home and opens the tv and finds out he just threw away half a million dollars. They better hire someone around the clock to watch the George Washington Bridge. I have a feeling some 23 yr old kid might be paying a visit there soon..

[DwightShrute]

i think Jeter's 3000 ball would go for over a million in the open market.....Tons of Yankee fans around the country with more money than they know what to do with it

It's probably one of the most valuable pieces of sport memorabilia....All of those homerun balls are worth a ton but there will always be one of them because it's a homerun ball......Only two 3000 hit balls are out there (homeruns that fans get) in the world and it's Jeter as well

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?

[keyboarding]

At the very least the fukk could have asked the organization to donate to a charity of his choosing. Dumb fukk.

I wonder if he could get it back legally claiming he didn't know the true value.

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've been there, brother. Fukk Derek Jeter. I would've kept the fukkin ball just to break it off in that prikk.

Then I would've said "this is for my SBR brother Wiggums, dikkhead".......right before I threw the bitch in the Hudson River.

Fukk Jeter......he ain't no SBR pro.

Dude was probably a true Yankee fan and 4 Legend Suite seats are Gold for a guy who's probably happy with his $10 an hour job....not everyone is a greedy fuk like jj Gold

True Yankee fan or not, he got the shit end of the stick......Would you throw away a winning lotto ticket??

[9nickel]

Jay Z is a huge Yankees fan.. he probably would have given him a million for it haha

[Sunde91]

how many 100s/1000s of dollars has this idiot put into the yankees so he can pay to watch smug bums like Jeter, who do not give one fuk about him, make millions for swing a bat?

And now he just gives the most valuable item his shit life has ever come across in some misguided gesture of righteousness

pussface

I don't think it's greedy at all if he looked to get money for it. The guy threw away a house for his family.

They are not referring to the
Union Army.

[MoneyLineDawg]

I'm a diehard Yankees fan and here's the reason why I think the guy was a moron/ it isn't greedy to sell to the highest bidder: 10 minutes after Jeter hit 3000 Yankees Stadium was selling t-shirts, hats, etc for Jeter's 3000 hit.....Also a commercial kept coming on on the YES Network for fans to call in and buy Jeter 3000 memorabilia.

If the Yankees Org. is cashing in on 3000, the guy who caught the damn ball shouldn't have a problem doing it as well.

Makes me sick that people can really defend this guy

[305GURU]

Im a die hard yankee fan and Jeter is one of my favorite players of all-time but i think i would need some dough and suites for a couple seasons, regardless jeter had a great day going 5-5 and going yard for 3K

If he wanted to go that route and give it back to Jeter, I would tell the Yankees to give me a suite or 6 of the best seats in the house to my family for life

wtf ?? u couldn't get that off this negro w/ a taser !

[Holtgetsback]

they should have given this guy a lifetime supply of nathans hot dogs

i bet the kid bleeds chocolate milk

[bigsmitty]

Most guys will only get one or two chances their entire lives to be "somebody". You pass those opportunities up you are no longer entitled to complain that you "never get a break." Guy is either retarded, already financially comfortable, or was pressured by everyone around him into a bad decision.

Agreed. My money would be on a mix of mentally slow and a "true blue Jeter fan". Derek is laughing at him and eating popcorn from Cameron Diaz's hand right now. Ciao

**** that shit man, broke people gotta do whatever they can to get ahead. If it was me I'd have sold it on Ebay

[Br0nxer]

Were you trying to blow him too?

get off my fukkin dikk kid

go play with your toy cars or some sh1t like that

[Nicky Santoro]

i would bet everything i have that it wasn't because he was a nice guy. my money is on he had no idea it was worth half a million. you think if his buddy told him, hey man, you can't give that away for free, it's 500k cash in your pocket if you keep it.. you think his answer would have been, i dont care about 500k, i want nothing for it.. yeah right. he would have said... really man, you serious?? i can get 500k for this.. fukk it then, i am not giving it away.. I AM RICH NOW..

so he's a moron then. Well in that case, he doesn't deserve the money.

[Sunde91]

the word "hamburger" should be reserved fuks for this



the classic fat fuk clueless American

[face]

dumb poor people do dumb stuff with money all the time. whether or not he spent it on dumb stuff or gave it away does not matter.

I agree, did you guys not here his interview on the yes network, he said that he was a college grad with some political degree and that he was struggling to get by selling phones for verizon. Theres no way he knew how much it was worth.

Who are we to judge the kid.

Exactly - plus this guy probably payed $35 for parking and $12 per beer in one of the biggest dump neighborhoods in the country. We fans are stupid.

[crustyme]

heard yesterday the ball would fetch half a million.

i think his mama raised a dumazzzz.

[Tower]

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