So Ecko thinks he is better than everyone because he spent $750k on a baseball and then let the world decide what to do with it? Even if this was a PR stunt by Ecko I don't think he deserves the blame. How bout blaming the HOF for excepting a branded ball?

Why is everyone so pissed at Ecko? lol
He put up a poll, be mad at the people that voted for this. He gave them the option of sending it to the hall with no markings on it and public opinion said no. Also, he has a history of 'pop culture pranks' according to the article I just read, anyone know of any of the past ones?

Whoever mentioned the jerking off on the ball is right. How hilarious would that have been? Can you imagine Selig's unveiling of the ball at the HOF? 'Here is the all time HR record breaking ball. It is encrusted in semen'

Refusal to accept the ball on those grounds would be go against the mission of the HOF and other historical museums in general, which are to store artifacts for future generations and educate people on the objects and their place in history. Not make political decisions about the worthiness of the objects to be stored. I say this as an archivist, not just someone who once stayed in Holiday Inn Express.
