Fashion entrepreneur Marc Ecko recently purchased Barry Bonds’ 756 home run ball for more than $752,000. So what’s he going to do with it? Put it on his desk? On the mantlepiece in his home?
No. Ecko, a man of the people, wants those people to have a say in the fate of said ball.
“We all have an opinion about this ball,” he writes on vote756.com. “Some feel it is a bit of history that belongs in the Hall of Fame. Others believe it is the embodiment of a cheating culture — not just in baseball, but in sports overall.”
Ecko invites his fellow ethicists to decide whiter 756:
“Bestow it” — Send it to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown | |
“Brand it” — Literally brand an asterisk onto the horsehide. After that, Ecko still wants to deliver it to the HoF | |
“Banish it” — Send it into space. (Talk about your moonshot home runs…) |
Voting ends Sept. 25.
