Hank Aaron's Home Run Drama

Groundskeeper Richard Arndt caught Hank Aaron's 755th home run ball in 1976 and tried to return it to Aaron, but the Brewers informed him he was unavailable. Subsequently, the Brewers fired Arndt for allegedly stealing team property (the ball) and deducted $5 from his final paycheck. In 1999, he sold the ball at auction for $625,000.
