I take it you are referring to the year he broke Roger Maris's record in 1998. McGwire hit 70 Home runs that year and hit 65 the following year in 1999. Mark McGwire's 63rd Home Run ball sold for $50,000. at the same auction that saw McGwire's 70th Home Run ball sell at a record $3 million in 1999. Keep in mind this is also before the steroid scandal, and both baseballs might sell at a much lower price today. Mark McGwire's record setting 70th Home Run established the single season home run record at that time before Barry Bonds hit 73 in 2001. Other noted Home run balls sold for as follows: Babe Ruth 1933 All Star Game - $805,000 (2006)
Hank Aaron 755th - $650,000 (1999)
Barry Bonds 73rd of season - $450,000. (2001)
Mickey Mantle 500th - $144,000. (1996)
Barry Bonds 700th - $102,000 (2005)
Barry Bonds 70th of season - $14,400 (2007) NOTE: This ball previously sold for $60,000 and it was recently valued at about half that amount. Steroid suspicions are hampering the value of collectibles from more recent years.
