Poor Derek Jeter who, Michael Kay claimed, hates all this added attention. This farewell tour must be wearing Jeter to a frazzle.
Yet, on Sept. 22, before a night game against the Orioles, Jeter is to host a “Meet and Greet Farewell Luncheon” in a Manhattan ballroom/theater. His most devoted fans have been invited to attend — provided they pay tribute in the most sincere form: Pay, and plenty.
In conjunction with Steiner Collectibles — Jeter’s and the Yankees’ contracted autograph and consignment shop — those who pay $4,500 actually will be able to swap a few words with “The Captain” in a side room, from where they’ll be allowed a one-photo opportunity with Jeter as well as one “limited edition Jeter-signed item.”
The secondary package — lunch, photo-op, autograph, no talking — goes for $2,500.
Not enough? How about a Jeter game used ... sock. You can have that for just under $500 bucks.
