The guy that catches Jeter's 3000th hit Home Run gives the ball back and loses at least $250,000

[Well-Seasoned]

Instead of sending the ball to an auction he gives the ball back and receives a bunch of tickets and suites from the Yankees who still ripped him off after his nice gesture. He could have easily had $250,000 if not more. Considering he is only 23 (something like that) and other factors, what was he thinking????????

P.S. Most RX degens here would have taken the money

and not think twice about it.

money

He could have gotten alot more than ($250,000 at least) instead of just tickets, suites, and a meeting with Jeter.

Guy is an idiot. He could have gotten a half mil for small

 

[powerz]

Are you kidding he'll be all over the talk shows in the US he get paid and look like a hero.

Signed balls???
I could have my balls licked by Reese Witherspoon and I'd still take the dough.

I'd still take that money even if Jeter offered his girlfriend Minka Kelly to lick my balls LOL

I wouldve made the yanks sign me to a 1 year 10mill deal in the big leagues and replace Aj Burnett with me in the rotation.

Whats worse is he thinks Jeter is "Latino".....lol......thats why he gave it up......total clown

 

[THawk+]

complete ass clown!!! You have very few opportunities in life to make a score and make your life better and this guy just missed one and maybe his last.. He could have bought balls, shirts, and tix after he sold the ball...

Complete idiot

 

[Fitzwell]

total dumbass, what the hell was he thinking?

He calls himself a fan and doesn't even know that. I'm not even a Yankee fan and I, along with many people knew that. Jeter has been playing forever so you would think he would know that. What a pendejo.

Would have taken the cash. Memorabilia and Autographs are worthless in the grand scheme of life.
Buying a house, paying off his bills, Etc is more sound than something signed with a sharpie to collect dust.

Yup couldve have walked to the nearest local sports store in New york and bought all that Derek Jeter signed stuff with all that cash he wouldve got.lol

and to think he Latino just speaks volumes for a so called "DEREK JETER LOVER" that he claim he is.

 

[FaderWilliams]

he is an idiot players make millions and he could have made several thousand for the 3000 hit ball. sucker born every minute and he makes up for many

 

[MikRetSam]

lol.......... its only money........ jesus...... he did the right thing....... kudos

 

[Salsantorre]

lol.......... its only money........ jesus...... he did the right thing....... kudos

The right thing?. Really? Here's the part I find disgusting. Jeter, everyone's "classy" guy didn't give him shit. Here, this guy makes 176,000 a game and gives the chump his fucking autograph. WOW!!! Now that's "CLASSY" Jeter is like most ball players, a scumbag. I don't want to hear about how "classy" this guy is. And that kid is a damn fool. Keep on taking it up the ass sports fans.
