August 7th, 2007 was a day that the baseball world would never forget. It was also a day that Matt Murphy would never forget. That was the day that Barry Bonds hit the Aaron-breaking homer that gave Bonds 756 homers. A historic ball. A record-breaking ball. A ball that landed in the stands into the hands of a Mets fan. Murphy came from the crowd covered in his own blood holding that ball. It was like getting all the numbers right on a lottery ticket. Today, Bonds' ball went for $752,467. Not bad for only paying $100 for the ticket itself. Now, this is nowhere near the amount that McGwire's ball sold for, reaching an estimated $3 Million. I wonder why? This'll definitely be a topic of discussion on the first episode of Tuesday Sports Report.
