Fans or Nonfans Decide on Bonds' 756 Homerun Ball

Friday, September 21, 2007



Whether you love or hate Barry Bonds, you can decide what happens to his “treasured” 756th homerun ball. Whether you think he did steriods which influenced his ability or whether you think he's innocent until proven guilty, you're in charge.

Matt Murphy, the man who endured kicking and shoving to get Bonds’ ball at the game, sold the ball to clothing designer Marc Ecko for $752,467. Ecko is letting fans now choose what happens to the ball, which he says now belongs to everyone.

Here are the choices:
A. Bestow It: Give the Ball to the Hall of Fame
B. Brand It: Put an asterisk on the ball with a branding iron and give it to the Hall of Fame.
C. Banish It: Put the ball on a rocket and launch it into outer space.

Ecko thinks baseball is about imagination, imagining hitting the big home run ball or making the game saving catch.

I totally agree, baseball is all about hopes and dreams that start with little kids playing tee-ball on a dusty field continuing to their first walk out onto the Big League field surrounded by 40,000 screaming fans hoping you make your dreams come true too.

Join all baseball fans and be a part of how this piece of history is remembered. So, it’s time for fans to figure out what’s going to happen to this ball. The only way to vote is at Ecko’s site.
