Bidding closes Sept. 15, when the winning offer will be announced. These balls are some of the most historic baseballs to come up publicly for auction, David Kohler, president of SCP Auctions, said. The Mission Viejo, Calif.-based auction house also handled the $102,000 sale of Bondss 700th home run ball, and the $220,000 sale of his 715th, which put him ahead of Babe Ruth on the home run list. Bonds broke Aarons record of 755 with a shot into the right-field seats on Aug. 7 against the Washington Nationals in San Francisco. Auction officials estimate the ball will fetch at least $500,000. Matt Murphy, the 21-year-old New Yorker who emerged from a scuffle with the record-breaking ball, said he still had not decided what he would do with the money but vowed not to waste it. Im not going to blow it on a Lamborghini, quit my job and have no money left in three weeks, said Murphy, who supervises contractors at a residential building in Manhattan and said he planned to return to school. Ill plan out what Im going to do with it and make the best investment possible. Murphy, who paid $100 for a $12 ticket to the Aug. 7 game during a layover on his way to Australia, said no matter how much he got for the ball, he had no complaints. Adam Hughes, a 34-year-old plumber from La Jolla, Calif., came up with No. 755 in the left-center field seats in San Diego on Aug. 4. Bidding started at $60,000 for that ball, and auction officials estimated it would sell for about $200,000.
