Go Barry!!!

i guess in record book will be babe ruth . hank aaron then barry bonds. course they will add a needle mark beside bonds name.

germancindy, stop being a hater!
Regardless of your personal logic, the man won the title fairly.
Everyone that feels resentment should quickly move on!

i don't think there should be an asterisk next to any record.

did any one catch the commissioners comment afterward?

somehow i dont think you can say barry bonds. and fair in the same breath

Barry Bonds is Fair....
LoL...damn, she's right, it took two breaths...lol

Good for Barry!!!!!!!

Barry's 756th ball will probably sell for 500K!!!

Not a Bonds fan by any stretch, but ya gotta tip your hat to the guy...756 is still 756 regardless of any *ahem* chemical enhancements that are alleged.

Still, I don't think he's gonna have a long stay at the top to be honest...that guy that plays 3B for the Yanks might have something to say about that.

(of note: I'm the furthest thing from a Yankees fan...Mets fan actually, but I can't hate on A-Rod at all lol)

Did anyone see this?

Apparently Bonds thinks you can do better things with $752,467 than buy a baseball - ya think??

According to the article, you can go online and vote for the fate of Bond's 756th baseball!

Bonds: Man who bought record-breaking home run ball is an 'idiot'

September 19, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds said the man who bought his 756th home run ball and announced plans to let the public decide its fate is an "idiot."

Fashion designer Marc Ecko had the winning bid Saturday in the online auction for the ball that Bonds hit last month to break Hank Aaron's record of 755 home runs. The final selling price was $752,467, well above most predictions.

Ecko, 35, has set up a Web site that lets visitors vote on three options for the ball: give it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, brand it with an asterisk before sending it to Cooperstown or blast it into space on a rocket ship.

The asterisk would suggest that Bonds' record is tainted by alleged steroid use. The Giants slugger has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs.

"All of those options don't weigh anything," Bonds told the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday night in Phoenix. "In baseball, that number (756) stands."

Bonds said Ecko could have found a better way to spend three-quarters of a million dollars.

"He's stupid. He's an idiot," Bonds said. "He spent $750,000 on the ball and that's what he's doing with it? What he's doing is stupid."

Ecko did not directly respond to Bonds' comments Wednesday, but said in a statement he would make Bonds a custom T-shirt that says, "Marc Ecko paid $752,467 for my ball, and all I got was this 'stupid' T-shirt."'

Ecko plans to announce what he will do with No. 756 after voting ends Sept. 25.

Ben Padnos, the California entrepreneur who submitted the $186,750 winning bid on Bonds' record-tying 755th home run ball, said Tuesday he also plans to have the public vote on what to do with it.
