When did you buy them?

before the season started, it's just a coincidence that this could be a historic game. i was actually in philly the day joe carter got his 2000 hit not that big an event. believe it or not the phillies phaithful actually cheered for him after he got it.

Heard the Rays refused to do one.

Stupid move, they would have gotten a chance to face the Yankee "B" lineup.

The stars have aligned for funk. He's in good shape to witness history.

Facing David Price is tough.

Arod now has a partially torn meniscus. Great.

Getting 3000 wasn't enough. 5-5 with the game winning hit. Unbelievable.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I have to do some research, since I read that catching that ball is considered a windfall, and therefore subject to taxes, just like a lottery ticket. So you would have to sell.

But, I would have had no problem with them holding the ball and doing an auction, or trying to sell it for top dollar. It's just too much money. Plus, Jeter doesn't show up to anyone else's work and give them prizes for doing a good job.

A couple hundred grand is nothing to Jeter, who makes a little more than 100k a game.
