The New York Times calculated Lopez's tax bill — for the Jeter autographed bats, balls and jerseys, four front-row seats on Sunday and four Champions Suite tickets for the remainder of the season — at around $14,000.
"Worse comes to worse, I'll have to pay the taxes," Lopez told the New York Daily News. "I'm not going to return the seats. I have a lot of family and friends who will help me out if need be."
