Found August 08, 2007 on Sports Business Radio:
Matt Murphy, a 22-year old Queens, New York native who was wearing a New York Mets jersey, was the lucky fan who caught Barry Bonds home run ball #756 tonight - making Bonds the all-time HR king. Ironically, Murphy was on a 1-day layover in San Francisco before a planned trip to Australia.He purchased a ticket just for tonight's game. From the reports I have seen, I'm not sure if Murphy has attended a Giants game previously and it sounds like he decided to attend the game as a last minute decision this evening. Talk about your good fortune. How much is the record setting ball worth? Some experts predict the ball could fetch upwards of $500K.
