Barry Bonds' 715th homerun ball sold

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- The ball that put Barry Bonds in second place on the all-time home run list sold for $220,000 on eBay two months after a San Francisco man caught it.

Andrew Morbitzer was waiting in line at a concession stand when Bonds hit his 715th home run on May 28, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The ball went into the bleachers and then bounced off.

The home run put Bonds ahead Babe Ruth. He is now trying to surpass Hank Aaron, who hit 755 career home runs.

David Cotter, founder of Mpire, a Seattle-based company that helped Morbitzer auction the ball, said he knows the buyer only by an eBay identification number. He told the Chronicle that the price was in the range he expected.
