Mark McGwire home run balls are highly prized because of McGwire's trademark towering blasts, and the ball offered here is no different. During a 4/13/99 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium, McGwire hit this ONL Coleman ball for his 460th home run. The ball was caught by a fan named David Deitle and is accompanied by several pieces of documentation directly from him. The documentation includes Deitle's ticket stub, a video showing Deitle retrieving the ball and exiting the fray with the treasure in hand, and a notarized letter from Deitle. The ball shows use and appears to have been hit hard at a point close to the sweet spot, presumably where McGwire's bat contacted it. With some of Big Mac's home runs fetching well into six figures and others getting seven figures, a McGwire home run ball from the season in which he joined the 500 Home Run Club is certainly high in demand.
