Asterisk, blast into space, or regular donation. That doesn't mean the asterisk was the most representative choice. That's like the U.S. government sponsoring a poll about George Bush's presidency, with the three choices being Good, Awesome, or Best Ever. And getting back to Gil's intentions, here's part of his argument that was left out by LB: <i>I’ll buy the ball from you Ecko for $800,000. If Barry Bonds is found guilty, I’ll give it back to you</i> So he'll pay 800k, but just give it back if Bonds is found guilty. I don't think he's defending steroid use here. It seems like he's generally pissed, as am I, about this whole "Ecko has the power" bullshit. And yes, even though there was a poll, Ecko laid out the three choices. None of those were Give the ball to Bonds, or Give it to Bonds' son, or even Give it to charity. Ecko is the biggest imbecile, and the people who want it branded are foolish as well.

"tainted" or not, I agree with him that the ball should not be tarnished. This makes me like Gilbert even more.

Sure, he bought it, but ruining history? Everyone can have their opinions on Bonds, but the fact of the matter is that his steroid use IS ALLEGED to this point and to purposefully smear a piece of baseball history is childish. And you know the only reason Ecko is doing this is for the pub. I mean, who the hell discussed Mark Ecko in normal everyday conversation before this? Will someone buy Brett Favre's TD record-breaking football and grafitti a pill on it because the dude used to be hooked to pk's? I wouldn't want someone defacing the Declaration of Independence because Thomas Jefferson screwed Sally Hemmings, who wasn't his wife. We are talking about history, and Ecko is a fool and a child for doing this. And all to extend his own 15 minutes. He's nothing more than an asshat. Red flags or not, who is Ecko to brand the ball?
