As you have probably heard by now, Barry Bonds has just hit his 756th career home run. The baseball that he sent into the stands is valued at over $500,000.
The guy who ended up with the ball (there was a mosh-pit style pile of people going for it) has already said that he is considering keeping the ball.
I think he should sell it to a sports memorabilia museum. It's pretty selfish to keep it, for a few reasons. The first being what if his house burns down and it isn't properly protected? The legendary ball would be gone. The second and more obvious reason is that he can probably get upwards of $1,000,000 or more for the ball and never have to work another day in his life.
Seems like that's a pretty good deal to me. I'd sell it for sure regardless of any sentimental value he claims it has for him.
Who here would keep it if you knew the alternative was having it stored in a safe place for all to admire and cherish, AND a nice healthy boost to your bank account.
I'd sell for sure.
