David Price signs deal to autograph Derek Jeter’s 3,000th items

Generous fan Christian Lopez may be getting all the headlines, but David
Price will not be the forgotten man from Derek Jeter's(notes) 3,000th
hit.

At least not from a memorabilia standpoint. The talented Tampa Bay Rays
pitcher has signed a deal with collectibles company Steiner Sports to sign
baseballs and pictures with an inscription of "I gave up DJ's 3K." Price
surrendered Jeter's 3,000th career hit last Saturday, giving up a full-count
home run to the left field stands at Yankee Stadium.

Now he'll get a nice bonus for finding himself on the wrong side of history —
 a profit that other victim pitchers like Mike Bacsik (Barry Bonds' 756th)
and Ralph Branca (Bobby Thomson's Shot Heard 'Round The World) have also
turned.

From the St. Pete Times:

Price said he didn't know how many items he would sign. Asked if "lucrative"
was a fair description for the deal, he said, "That's good.''

I'm sure that some people will have a problem with this endorsement and I do
find it a little curious that a pitcher of Price's caliber would associate
himself with what many consider to be a moment of failure on his part.

At the same time, being the pitcher for another player's personal milestone
is more or less a completely random act and Price really has no reason to be
ashamed of being on the mound for that moment. If he wasn't there, it would
have been someone else and in no way is it a reflection of his pitching
abilities. Do the other hundreds of pitchers who have allowed Jeter a hit go
around hanging their heads in shame?

In reality, Price was just a tad  more important to the situation — but not
by much — than the game's right fielder or the hot dog vendor. If someone
really wants to pay him for the coincidence of being on the mound for Jeter's
large and round number, why not take the money and run?
