What to do with 756

The excellent individual who bought Barry Bonds' tainted homerun number 756 is asking America and the World what he should do with it. Marc Ecko is giving us three choices for the fate of the ball:

Choice 1: He offers to give the ball to Cooperstown with no strings attached. This is an absolutely horrid choice and one which no one with any baseball sense should vote for.

Choice 2: This is a nice choice. He is offering to brand the baseball with an asterisk and then send it to Cooperstown, "adding a permanent footnote to the record," he calls it. Quite an excellent choice and the one I vote for.

Choice 3: He will somehow put the ball on a "rocket ship" and launch it into space, thus banishing it from Earth forever. "Out of sight, out of mind," he says. Another good choice and one I would certainly be all for.

Tell everyone you know to VOTE for one of the last two choices. Voting ends September 25th, so hurry up!

Hat tip: Turk.

Choice 2
I'd love to see the asterisk try to get in the HOF, even though it probably wouldn't.

That's hilarious!
This is a really strong indicator of the kind of legacy Barry is going to have.  Somebody pays $750,000 just to show his contempt for Barry.  More power to him.  I voted #2.

Voted this morning.  Can't wait for the results.  I see Barroid is already resorting to childish name calling...what a surprise.
