$450,000... that's it?!? ... thought it'd make more than that. The McGwire HR ball was auctioned for a little over $4 or $5 million... if my memory serves me correct .

It was $3 million for the McGwire ball, but there was way more drama associated with it...the HR chase, etc...way more in the media. And lots of people don't like Bonds...they think he is a bad guy cause he hates the media...I praise the guy for it.
