Record baseball sold for over $700,000

Matt Murphy, the 21-year-old who caught Barry Bonds' record breaking 756th career home run ball has sold it at an auction Saturday night.

The ball was sold for $752,467, a record for Barry Bonds-related memorabilia but was far short from the record price for a baseball. The record price paid for a baseball was the one that collector Todd McFarlane paid for a cool $3 million: Mark McGwire's 70th home run during the 1998 season.
