McGwire's 70th  - Sept. 27, 1998
No one has ever cashed in on a baseball like Philip Ozersky has. Sitting in a leftfield luxury box with research scientist coworkers at Busch Stadium, Ozersky caught McGwire's final home run of the 1998 season. A bidding war for the ball resulted a few months later and Ozersky came away about $3 million richer, donating some of the money to charity.
