Jeter

Christian Lopez, the 23-year-old fan who scooped up the home run ball after Derek Jeter notched his 3,000th hit and graciously returned it, was expected to be hit with a nasty tax bill for all the Yankees swag he got in exchange for his good deed. Now companies are stepping up to help.

Christian Lopez might end up wishing he had kept that baseball after all. Christian Lopez caught Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit Saturday at Yankee Stadium. He then returned the baseball to the New York Yankees shortstop rather than cashing it in. Christian could have sold it to the highest bidder for some big bucks, maybe as much as $250,000?
