Man From Queens To Auction Off Bonds" Record Ball

Man From Queens To Auction Off Bonds" Record Ball.
Barry Bonds" record-breaking 756th home run ball will be sold online, and New York fan Matt Murphy figures to be a half-million dollars richer. The 21-year-old fan said Tuesday he had no choice but to sell the ball -- several people told him he would be taxed on the souvenir just for holding on to it. 'It wasn"t hard. It was simple math. I"m upset by the decision I had to make,' Murphy said. 'I wanted to keep it. I"m young. I don"t have the bank account. ... It would have cost me a lot more to keep it.' Bonds broke Hank Aaron"s record of 755 with a shot into the right-field seats on Aug. 7 against the Washington Nationals. Sotheby"s/SCP Auctions will handle the sale at scpauctions.com beginning Aug. 28 and going through Sept. 15. The starting bid has not been determined, and auction officials estimated the ball would bring at least $500,000.
