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

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.

Re: Jeter hits 3000 with a HR
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.

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

Re: Jeter hits 3000 with a HR
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!
