Bonds 756th homerun ball worth lots of $$$$!!!
Posted by Media Outrage on September 14, 2007
Matt Murphy is the lucky guy who caught the 756 homerun ball that Barry Bonds hit to surpass Hank Aaron’s record. Now of course like any other owner of historical sports memorabilia he is auctioning it off to get Paaaaaiiiiiiiid!!!
Already Murphy’s ball stands at a price of $260,555. Murphy is hoping to sell it for at least $500,000 but would definitely settle for a record $3million the same price that Mark McGuire’s 70th home run ball went for in 1998.
How is Murphy dealing with the drama of auctioning off his record ball???
“I’ve been playing it off like it’s nothing,” Murphy says. “How? I have no idea. In my mind, I’m doing cartwheels.”
