Bonds' No. 756 ball generates more than initial estimates

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run
ball was auctioned Saturday for $752,467, well more than the
estimates by memorabilia experts.

Home run No. 755, the ball that tied the record, went for
$186,750, according to Sotheby's/SCP Auctions. Both final prices
included the winning bid plus a 20 percent buyer's fee, according
to the auction houses handling the sale.

Bonds broke Aaron's record of 755 with a shot into the
right-center field seats on Aug. 7 off of Washington Nationals
pitcher Mike Bacsik in San Francisco.

Matt Murphy, a 21-year-old student and construction supervisor
from New York, emerged from a scuffle with the record-breaking ball
after paying $100 for a $12 ticket during a layover on his way to
Australia from his hometown.
