Barry Bonds’ final home run ball is about to net its owner a small fortune

You have a choice. Make an all-cash offer for a 917 square-foot condo in Sunnyvale, or scoop up the final home run ball of Barry Bonds’ career.

Either way, the freight is about the same: In the neighborhood of $750,000 scoots.

TMZ is reporting that the home run ball — career No. 762 for Bonds — will be up for auction Monday at Goldin Auctions. If the auction house realizes its greatest hopes, the ball will have doubled in value since its first sale in 2008.

But before you go raiding your kid’s piggy bank, know this about the ball: It has a sketchy history.
