The Fate of #756 by Marc Ecko
Vote on #756
So Marc Ecko bought #756 from the online auction for $752,467 dollars(good job Mets fan). He has decided to let the people vote on the fate of the ball, the options? 1. Have him send it to Cooperstown. 2. Have him send it to Cooperstown, but brand it with an asterisk before doing so. 3. Have him put "the ball into a rocketship and launch it into orbit, a moon shot for the ages. Out of sight, out of mind." to quote the webpage. What is everyone's opinion on this? |
Re: The Fate of #756 by Marc Ecko
This is very awesome.
I don't really mind all the steroids/cheating/whatnot in sports, but I voted to brand it just because that's [censored] awesome. Let's do our own poll. |
Re: The Fate of #756 by Marc Ecko
Brand it.. not because I hate the cheating, but just because that would be so sick.

When I was a kid my parents took me to Cooperstown every summer during induction weekend. Walking through the HOF and seeing all the memorobilia was always thrilling as a young baseball fan. I think it is disrespectful to young fans in the future to do anything but just send it in as is. Bestow it.

This is a really bad idea, and it's very disrespectful to more than just Bonds, it's disrespectful to the entire game. |

It would be disrespectful to give the ball to Cooperstown with an asterisk branded on it.

I know this situation is not exactly analogous, but what if the person who caught Aaron's home run ball wrote something racist on that before it was put into the hall? (I don't know if it in the hall) Defacing this type of material is never a good idea. It's extremely arrogant of this person to do this. And I am going to say this before anyone attacks me, I agree that his ownership of the ball gives him the right to defile it anyway he sees fit. I think he should use better judgment and not ruin a piece of history. |
