Truck driver Sal Durante caught the record-breaking home run. He tried to return the ball to Roger Maris. Maris refused, insisting that Durante keep it and try to make money off of it. Durante sold the ball to Sam Gordon, a Sacramento restaurant owner, who paid $10,000. Gordon later turned the ball over to Maris. The Baseball is now on display in Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

It was Braves relief pitcher Tom House. On April 8, 1974, he caught Aaron's 715th home run in the Atlanta bullpen. He then raced onto the field to present the ball personally to Aaron.
