Question of the Day: Do you think Christian Lopez would have been better off not catching Jeter's home run?
New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter joined Major League Baseball's elite 3,000-hit club Saturday with a home run into the left field bleachers.
Christian Lopez, a 23-year-old fan, retrieved the home run ball, but decided to give it back to the Yankees rather than sell it because he felt it was the right thing to do.
In return for his generosity, the Yankees gave Lopez free season tickets along with a slew of signed memorabilia.
However, Lopez will be liable for paying the taxes on the gifts he received, which may end up costing him thousands of dollars.

It was very nice of him giving the ball back... this is like a good surmaritan coming to the aid of someone who was hurt and then they get sued for trying to help ... The IRS should just leave it alone... and go after the rich people who dont pay any taxes or very little.... like most of the those Republicans... what about the perks they get ?? Tax them
