I really wish FB had smart filters. If a post has the word “Yankees” and doesn’t contain the words “died in a plane crash” block it.
lol, I like that idea
"Next time, just throw it back.
Accountants say the man who caught the home run ball that Derek Jeter smashed for his 3,000th hit Saturday will have to pay as much as $14,000 in taxes, New York media report.
Christian Lopez, 23, caught the ball and promptly handed it over to the Yankees without demanding any kind of payment, the Daily News reported. The Yankees rewarded him with suite seats for the rest of the season, plus a heap of autographed team memorabilia.
That’s what could cost Lopez. According to The New York Times, the total value of the seats and loot could exceed $120,000. The IRS would consider that to be taxable income, several accountants told both newspapers."
lol… sometimes it’s really easy to see why people join crazy right wing militias and plot to destroy our government.
Careful, you’ll get this thread locked, er, moved to politisuck.
No need for the “er” since they’re both the same thing.
$14,000 bucks. You don’t think Jeter or the yankees will cover that for him. If they are assuming some idiot would have bought that baseball for $250,000 and that is what he essentially “gave away,” then they won’t want the bad press of giving this guy memorabilia and essentially sticking him with a $14,000 tax bill. Come on now.
Everything I learned about the Yankees I learned from Seinfeld. I dislike them greatly even though I know next to nothing about them or even the sport for that matter b/c of their fans… Ebay app, ON CAMERA, ON TV, for all to see! Pay up sucka!
Jeter is a douche. I’d ebay it and be more than happy to take someone’s money. I’d also probably fart on it a few times before I shipped it out.
They should treat the seats as invite’s from the yankees instead of a gift.
