If the fan who returned Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit ball has to pay taxes on the goods he received from the Yankees, companies are ready to strike out his debt, according to an ESPN.com report. Christian Lopez scooped up the milestone baseball Saturday. Instead of trying to sell the ball, he decided to give it back to Jeter. The Yankees responded by giving him memorabilia and tickets, setting off media speculation that Lopez would have to pay taxes on his windfall. According to accountants contacted by the New York Daily News and New York Times, that tax bill could end up being anywhere from $5,000 to $14,000.
