I am a red sox fan. I would do the same. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera (Yes I know he's retired) are the two Yankees players I have ever liked. I respect those two guys more than anyone in baseball. Jeter deserved that ball, and he got it.

LOL, not everyone thinks they deserve something for being human. If you ever grow the fuck up and not act like a punk ass piece of shit who needs paid for saying hello, you just might get it.
you're right. i think having the memories is worth more than the "millions" he will get from the ball. respect can't be bought. so befittingly that respect was given to jeter from a very respectable fan.
I remember having conversations w/ friends about how if in this situation we’d like to think we’d give ball back for free. However, my friend Ed said something I’ll never forget “it would be great to give the ball back for free but then you go home to your family’s house and see how much your family could use money and not the “respect of fellow fans”
Honestly it's ridiculous he didn't offer a larger price. Jeter is set for life, this dude probably actually needed the money. It would not surprise me if it haunts him to this day.
Class act by the fan and also a class act by the Yanks to reward his generosity. I bet a lot of people would have asked for a lot more than to just meet Jeter. Very classy sportsmanship on both sides, just another reason why I love baseball.

Zach Hample actually was able to pull 150,000$ from the Yankees for a childrens charity. Good for Zach for standing his ground, it was his ball to keep and he did.

I highly doubt that since there's no way to even prove what they want to happen will happen.
+DrunkSamurai Seriously? If AROD was sitting around 698 homers guaranteed the prices would go up. You know dam well it's SUPER rare to hit 4 in a game. What about if Marino was still here? And he needed one more save to be the greatest closer of all time? OF COURSE THEY WILL KNOW HISTORY WILL BE MADE

That's assumptions. They can't prove it will happen during a particular game.
should've given the dude liftime tickets
Can we set up a gofund me page. This guy deserves more and its 2019
Amazing young man who was taught right in life. I bet his parents are very proud.
I wouldn't be proud. Jeter, Yanks, MLB are all getting paid. Why shouldn't the fan?
@@John_Lee_ - so it's all about the bucks?
@@joed9491 Unfortunately that's how capitalism works. There are no real free lunches in life, why should a billion dollar organization get one? I'd rather have more money for my family than respect from MLB and fans.
A moment for both Derek Jeter and this guy....nice !! ⚾
