Good question. What I remember about that night in 1974 was that Tom House, the Atlanta pitcher that caught Aaron's 715th in the bullpen, ran to home plate and gave the ball to Aaron as a throng of family and reporters and teammates were around him. I have heard nothing about that ball being sold.
Hank Aarons
Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run baseball is currently held by the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. After Aaron hit the home run on April 8, 1974, it was caught by a fan named John Kline, who later sold it to the Hall of Fame. This ball is significant as it marked Aaron's breaking of Babe Ruth's long-standing home run record.
