Jeter hits 3000 with a HR

[lakeerie92]

I cant wait to hear the story from the guy who caught it.

[slam]

Do you think the guy will give him the ball back, without costing an arm and a leg

before it was hit i believe they said it would be worth around 250k if a fan caught it. thats one lucky dude!

YES just interviewed the guy who caught it. He gave it to the Yankees for nothing. In exchange they gave him bats, hats, jerseys, Suite tickets for a couple of games and club passes for the rest of the year. I think he was 23 and was at the game with his Dad and his girlfriend. Seemed like a great kid. He is supposed to meet Jeter after the game.
He said that Derek deserved the ball. He said Derek hit the homer and he should have the ball.

its about time someone didn't act like a total aQ%hole when they caught a HR ball.

I still think about the jerk who caught Matt Carson's HR baseball in Oakland a few years ago and wouldn't give it back for anything less than $10k.

too cool-im stuck in a hotel room in miami, so didn't get a chance to watch it, but what a stand up guy!

adda boy jeet!

not to mention another win for the yanks AND a 5-5 day for el capitan!!

I was there at the game. It was the greatest time I ever had at the stadium besides the 2009 world series game 6. I can't believe he hit a homer for number 3k. Congrats Derek Jeter

I had a thought the other day that Jeter would hit a HR for #3000. Maybe I should be the next Nostradamus.

A stand up guy for sure! Hopefully the bats, caps, and jerseys they are giving him are game used....... That will be a memory he will get to share forever!
