Baseball: Man to sell Bonds' 762nd HR ball

Associated Press

DENVER — An auction house says a Colorado man has decided to sell the baseball Barry Bonds hit for career homer No. 762. It could fetch $1 million.

SCP Auctions said today that 24-year-old Jameson Sutton of Boulder snared Bonds' final homer of last season on Sept. 5 at Coors Field.

SCP says Sutton has decided to sell the ball in an online auction starting March 31. The auction house also handled the sale of Bond's record-breaking home run ball No. 756.

Bonds' return to baseball looks uncertain. The Giants didn't re-sign the 43-year-old, and the home run king faces perjury and obstruction charges stemming from a steroids investigation. He pleaded not guilty.
