    Ball sells for $804,129

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Giants slugger Barry Bonds' 700th home run ball drew a top bid of $804,129 Wednesday after a 10-day online auction.

    The baseball had received 240 offers by the time Overstock.com closed the bidding. The identity of the new owner, a bidder nicknamed "bomasterj," was not immediately made public.

          I think the BIG bucks will come with #756!

              The seller, baseball fan Steve Williams, got the ball after a scramble in the bleachers at SBC Park on Sept. 17 -- a mad dash that may have enriched him but also landed him in court. Timothy Murphy has sued Williams, saying he should get the ball because he had it locked behind his knees before Williams swiped it.

              A San Francisco judge refused to hold up the sale, freeing Williams to auction it. Murphy is pressing ahead with the lawsuit, seeking the proceeds from the ball's sale.

                  Smart investment by the bidder or not?

                      I really don't think so. Unless every ball from #700 to #755 will have that kind of value (which I doubt).

                      The ball to own would be #756 (obviously) but . . . I'm not sure MLB will let you sell it if you catch it.

                      They will want it for the Hall of Fame and everyone will try to make you feel bad if you don't hand it over.

                          Could you imagine how lucky the seller must feel? You know it was some dufus making less than $40,000 a year (my guess) so he feels like he is set for life.

                          Comic strip creator Todd McFarlane paid $3.2 million for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball in 1999.

                          Now what do you think that ball is worth? Not much I think.

                                  $800,000 for a baseball.

                                  I think sports memorabilia is beyond absurd.

                                      It's a tainted record even if he gets it because he's on the juice...

                                          OH SHIT, that's right! I forgot about that. I can't believe somebody paid $800,000 for a ball considering all the variables.

                                                      In 2001, Bonds' record-setting 73rd homer of the season sparked litigation that ended when a judge ordered two men who claimed ownership to split the $450,000 the ball fetched.
