First of all, I'm a Met fan. Second of all, I do think Jeter is one of the best baseball players in the modern era, a real class act, and I'm proud that he's played his entire career in my city.
But the guy who caught his 3000th hit, a home run yesterday, just GAVE THE BALL BACK TO HIM! I think he's an idiot. Baseball, and ball players are not like they used to be. These guys, even guys like Jeter and Ripkin, are overpaid pampered brats who feel entitled to everything. If I were this guy, I would have held that ball for my kids college tuitions (Ok maybe a few suits at Ercole's too!) and asked the Yankees or Jeter to make me an offer on it. But this guy just GAVE it back. Wanna know what he got in return? A few shirts, some signed balls, and 4 tickets for the rest of this year to every game. Schmuck.
