A few standouts in the modern era of baseball have taken hitting to a whole new level, achieving astounding single season home run numbers no one ever dreamed possible. None left more impact than Mark McGwire’s 70 home runs, shattering Roger Maris’ 37-year long-standing record. After rounding the bases at Busch Memorial Stadium, McGwire hugged his son, teammates, Sammy Sosa, & Roger Maris’ 5 children, who were at the game. It is a moment the baseball world will never forget. Game used baseball from that most memorable of games at Busch Stadium is signed by Big Mac on the sweet spot in his patented form. Inscribed by McGwire on the panel just above it is “Parkway HR Record #62 9-9-98”. Ball was obtained from St. Louis Cardinals hitting instructor for the ’98 season, Dave Parker, who got the ball personalized to him after the game. ONL (Coleman) ball shows solid use from one of the most important moments in the history of baseball. LOA from Parker.
