Although itâs nowhere near the amount 1998âs Mark McGwireâs single season home run record ball commanded, Giants slugger Barry Bondsâ career No. 756 home run baseball sells for more than experts predicted. The ball thrown by Nationals pitcher Mike Bacsik on August 7, which was auctioned by Matt Murphy, the fan who caught the historic homer, is won by an unidentified bidder for $752,467.
