I don't care who hit it. That's nuts.

Damn shipping fee($15) is the deal killer for me. I don't get what so special about his 700th homerun ball. It aint like the first time someone reached that "magical" number. I could see that much being paid for the one that breaks the record but for this :?:

They've gone for more. One of McGwire's balls(hee-hee) went for 3 million back in 1998 or 1999. I suspect the Babe Ruth homer(715) and of course, the Hank Aaron homers(755) for Bonds will go for a few million each.

I didn't catch the ball, the ball just rolled to me. You might have heard that there has been some dispute over the ball. Fear not, though, I am the rightful owner, and you can see a letter from my lawyer here.
No thanks. I'll take my $800K (that I wish I had) to Vegas instead.
