A-Rod chase to 600 homerun marked baseballs...

Now that there are more of these marked baseballs on the market from A-Rod's chase to 600, does anybody know how many baseballs were actually used between 599 & 600? I'm trying to look up what the final count was but can't find any info.

A 104 was the 600th home run ball so best guess would be 104.

Makes sense! I should've looked at that in the first place

Interesting, since they did something similar for Sosa. But he went into a long slump, so that about 200 balls were used before he got to 600. But his count started before HR #599. I noticed that in his case, they varied in how many they'd certify. When he was slumping, they might ignore some of the balls in a game for his AB's. Other games, though, they did at least one per AB.
