Who caught Barry Bonds 715th home run ball?
The ball that Barry Bonds hit to surpass Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list found its way to a fan in one of the unlikeliest ways. On May 28, 2006, Bonds hit his 715th home run into the stands where it bounced onto a platform behind the fence. San Francisco resident Andrew Morbitzer was in line at a concession stand for beer and peanuts when the ball rolled off the platform and into his hands. He was immediately ushered away by security for a postgame news conference. Morbitzer later sold the ball to regional car dealer Marc Chase of San Diego through an auction. The ball fetched 220,100 dollars at the end of the 10-day auction.
