May 29, 200620 yr Well. the value has chenged dramatically as Bonds has hit #715. The value of that HR Ball had been estimated at $1,000,000. Looked like it bounced off some fans before winding up under the stands. Anyway, the same person who's knowledgable in such things and valued the #715 ball at 1 Million, says that #716 and on should be worth at least $20000. . . .So, assuming now that the Marlins will get their usual 500 fans sitting out in RF, that puts the vaue of a ticket, with the chance to catch #716, at $20000/500=$40 times the average HR per AB by Bonds(.10)=$4....per at bat=$20. . .$4..or $20....no big deal. But if Bonds hadn't hit #715 today the value of a seat would have been $1,000,000/2000=$500 times the average HR/AB=$50.....per at bat=$250 I would have been there in RF paying $8 for a seat worth $250. Now I'll still go, on Tuesday, which I figure is the most likely day for Bonds to play. He's sure to take at least one day off, probably Wednesday, possibly Monday as well after the cross-country flight. May sit in the Publix Power Alley instead of my usual infield box or founder's field seat. Maybe Bonds will go oppo.
May 29, 200620 yr Author lemme tell ya, i was devastated I just wanted to see 715, much less catch it Me too, but the extra million for catching it would have been sweeeeet.
May 29, 200620 yr I can almost guarantee that #715 will not sell for anywhere near $1 million. Bonds' 73rd HR ball only sold for about $400K. This isn't a record HR either. That would be #756.
May 29, 200620 yr Author Attendance will probably be up. Went way down after todays homer The attendance would have been intersting if Bonds had not hit #715 today. I would hope it would have been at least 12000 warm bodies each day, with 2000 out in RF. It probably would have turned out to be an embarrasment and been a repeat of this past weekend, with 8000 warm bodies. I pay no attention anymore to the announced figures. They're a lie.
May 29, 200620 yr Attendance will probably be up. Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? :thumbup

Yeah its kind of a bummer that he jacked one the day before SoFla but Im sure he was psyched that he did it at home and not in front of 10,000 ppl of whom 6,000 arent even Marlins fans.

I think 715 will sell for a mill atleast. The 700 ball sold for $804,129, the 715 ball is the one that takes 2nd place in all time HR's it has to be worth more then the others. 716-754 probably wont be woth as much though. And I cant wait untill Bonds hits #756.
May 29, 200620 yr 73 for bonds was $517,500 they just showed it on sportscenter.... most valuable ball ever bought by the same guy ($3 mil - mark the juice's 70)
May 29, 200620 yr Hey if i catch #716...just give me 10k I'll put a nice 10k down payment on a harley and be happy!
May 29, 200620 yr I wouldnt be surprised to see him take monday night off yea, they said something on FSNBay Area about them wanting to sit him tomorrow, so it would be great if he could get that 715 at home... and then he did. so yeah, hes probably gonna sit.
May 29, 200620 yr I wouldnt be surprised to see him take monday night off i'd be surprised if he didn't sit
May 29, 200620 yr I wouldnt be surprised to see him take monday night off i'd be surprised if he didn't sit No way Bonds plays tonight after flying across the country.
