Fan Toys With Keeping Ball
The Queens man [who caught] Barry Bonds record-breaking home run on August 8, is now thinking about holding on to it rather than selling it. The ball is valued at $500,000, but the sentimental value may be worth more to the college student who was on his way to Australia when he attended the game. There are also [taxes to think about](http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070810/SPORTS08/708100503/1224/SPORTS08). Murphy revealed he was considering keeping it during a Today Show appearance. Murphys grandfather, a retired NYPD cop says hes hoping hell sell it to give himself a nice head start. Bonds was headed for the Hall of Fame before he broke Hank Aarons career home run record at AT&T Park in San Francisco. But Murphy called number 756, the [greatest American sports accomplishment in history](http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/am bonds0810,0,7726339.story?coll=ny_home_rail_headlines), Murphy said, explaining why he may not sell it. Perhaps, but what about the greatest American sports accomplishment [not aided by](http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/03/06/growth0313/1.html) Deca-Durabolin or Winstrol or human growth hormone? Thatd fetch 500K, at least.
