Derek Jeter gives ball to young fan


When Derek Jeter made the final out of an inning in Houston during Thursday night's game against the Astros, he had a critical decision to make: who gets the ball?Jeter's no slouch. He's been doing this for years.A young girl in a Jeter jersey caught his eye and he made the effort to get the ball to her.But between the man in the front row pleading for the ball and the woman in an Astros jersey trying to rip it out of his clutches, this was not an easy task.Jeter pointed her out as he was walking over, but one fan chose to ignore the Yankee Captain and tried to take the ball for herself. Jeter, making sure the young girl would get the ball, had to pull his hand back from the desperate Astros fan three different times before he was able to deliver the souvenir for the kid.Jeter had one hit, one RBI and one save - for the young fan in the stands. Maybe we'd be like this guy to the left of our Astros fan, who steals a high five from Jeter when the Captain's hand is on the way down. Or, maybe we'd sit quietly in the back with a tallboy Bud Light in a pink beer koozie.Okay, you're right, we probably wouldn't, but someone had to bring attention to that beer koozie.
