What would you do with Barry Bonds record breaking 756th homerun ball? Mark Ecko, a fashion designer who paid $750,000 for the ball in a recent auction, is leaving it up to the fans to decide what to do with it. “I bought this baseball to democratize the debate over what to do with it,” Ecko wrote on the Web site. “The idea that some of the best athletes in the country are forced to decide between being competitive and staying natural is troubling.”

Ecko wants to brand a giant asterisks into the side of it. Not a bad idea, that way this ball will be permanently marked and we’ll always be reminded of the steroid allegations. Others think the ball should be given as is to the Hall of Fame, where it rightfully belongs.

I don’t really care with this guy does with that ball. Sure this ball is the one that broke the record, but it won’t be the record setting ball. We won’t know that ball # until Barry retires. And even then who really cares. I say we are better off by ignoring the situation and not giving more press to Barroids.

On second though, just blow the danm thing up.
