Bonds should have been thrown out long before 756, There should be two large asterisks so that the ball cannot be positioned without an asterisk being in view. Deeply stamped, dark, and large.

If Pete Rose was thrown out for only betting on games (gambling) then Bond not being thrown out of baseball is a slap to Pete Rose’s face.

(and that’s my 2 cents worth :-p)

I’d be interested to see how many of the above posters who opposed Ecko’s actions are from San Francisco. My guess would be a all of them.

I haven’t read all of the other responses yet, but I will.

Barry Bonds is a cheat.

His head should be tattooed with an asterisk. I would suggest his head be sent to Cooperstown, but they probably don’t have enough money to build a room big enough to hold that ginormous noggin (which is the result of steroid use).

Reminder: Babe Ruth was a drunk, but he didn’t cheat. Hank Aaron did not cheat and had to suffer indignities and racial slurs when he first came to Milwaukee. But he is a true gentleman.

Bonds is not an idiot. He’s a cheat.

I don’t understand why Bonds is so angry for what the buyer is doing to one ball. Look what Bonds himself is doing to both of his.

What would be a ballpark (ha) estimate of the revenue generated from advertisers on a website with 10 million hits?

He’s not an idiot, he did get a lot of publicity, but he is an ass. History is what it is, commentary is subjective. Branding a piece of baseball history with a stupid pop-culture reference is a waste. If Bonds’s steroid use tainted the sport, so did Ecko’s stunt.

Personally I think Bonds earned some kind of record. He’s a great hitter and lets not forget he was batting against several steroid enhanced pitchers while he was using steroids himself. Its wrong for him to be ahead of Hank Aaron, but he still did something amazing that not just any man on steroids could have done.

No neither are stupid, this is the closest baseball fans will get an asterisk next to barry bonds’ name
also barry bonds isnt stupid either, He has to be like the smartest person alive.
I mean look how big his head is. It looks like its been getting bigger over these past 10 years.
He must be really hitting the books.

I think B. Bonds is the idiot. If he really thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of millions of baseball fans. It is obvious that he is on illegal performance enhancing chemicals, and the record is now tainted.

Ecko did the right thing, he left it up to the fans to make the choice. So when Bonds call him “stupid” he is actually calling millions of baseball fans stupid

If this ball is going to be shown in the most hallowed halls of baseball, it should be represented in an open and honest matter.
