Mark Ecko won the ball...and he wants us to decide its fate:

1) donate it to the Hall of Fame
2) brand it with an * (which means the record is dubious because of his alleged steroid use)
3) blast it off into space.

wth are the rich spending $750,000 like that? yeah he is an idiot...an eccentric one.:pp:

[idiosyncratic]

yup. i wanna try that too... be eccentric and rich...
.
because being eccentric when you're poor
people just think you're nuts!
.
how can people know it really was that particular ball anyway?!! sure, i could've plucked the real ball from the sky or water... but who would know if i switched it out?! who's out there aunthenticating that this was ball # 1 million that Mr. Bond's the IV (just making the name up) homerun shot?

No one...but I'm sure if they found out he did switch it, he'd be in a lot of trouble.

Oh and I voted he should brand it...

Bonds is just salty cuz the guy is making fun of him.

the whole time Bonds was nearing the record, the umpire would be given special baseballs that were stamped with a special solution that can be seen with UV lights...once the ball was caught security took the person and the ball and made sure it was the authentic ball....hope that clears things up!!!
