500th Home Run Ball Hit by Alex Rodriguez Sold

By Richard Mueller

The home run ball hit by Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez for his 500th career round-tripper has been sold in an online auction for $103,579. The buyer has thus far elected to remain anonymous.

Rodriguez’s home run, hit on Aug. 4, 2007 off Kansas City Royals' pitcher Kyle Davies, made Rodriguez the youngest player in major league history to hit 500 home runs and the 22nd player to reach the important milestone.

"ARod" was the third player to hit his 500th home runs as a member of the Yankees and the second to do it in Yankee Stadium, the first being Babe Ruth on Aug. 11, 1929, and the second was Mickey Mantle who did it against Baltimore on May 14, 1967.

SCP Auctions is based in Laguna Niguel, California and was noted most recently for selling Barry Bonds' all-time record-setting 756th home run ball.

SCP also sold Babe Ruth’s bat used to hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium (sold for $1.265 million), the original 1919 Contract of Sale of Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees (sold for $996,000) and the private collections of Hall of Famers such as Honus Wagner, Tony Lazzeri, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Cousy, Casey Stengel, Pee Wee Reese and Ernie Banks.
