Bonds' home run ball is still in the US. As we reported yesterday, Matt Murphy was supposed to head to Australia last night, but he decided to stay in the states to figure out what to do with his new found lottery ticket.

According to the report, Murphy will actually get taxed on the ball because of its estimated half million dollar value. So he would be wise to sell it.

Murphy, is 22 and lives at home with his parents in New York. He is currently a college student and neighbors say he is a good kid. One officer, who helped escort Murphy out, was happy for him even though he was a Mets fan because "he seemed like a fan of the game."

Murphy was kicked and scratched at the bottom of the pile clamoring for the ball. His Mets jersey was torn and had to be thrown out. For his efforts, Murphy will keep 51% of profits from the ball, while the other half will go to his friend he was with- based on a prearranged deal. His friend, was wearing an A-Rod jersey. Ironic.
