Number 756

Thank you Marc Ecko!

The clothing mogul has let the people speak, and the people have spoken!

Barry Bonds, MLB player, and San Francisco Giant, recently set a record for the most homeruns by a single player in his career.

The ball that did it, was purchased in an auction by none other than Marc Ecko, of retail clothing fame. Ecko decided that the ball held a certain significance, as ole Barry has been accused of using performance enhancing drugs, to well.....enhance his performance.

He decided to put it to a vote, and see what the general public thought was a reasonable thing to do with the ball. Choices were : 1) send it to Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame) and have them display it 2) Brand an asterisk on the ball, denoting that the record was set by a player who has used steroids to enhance his performance, and then send it to Cooperstown, or 3) use a rocket to launch the ball into outer space.

Votes were tallied on Tuesday, and the public voted to place an asterisk on the famed "756" ball that marked Barry Bonds, controversial home-run record.

I personally agree with this decision, and I hope Barry realizes just how much of a joke he really is. Thankfully, the Giants are letting him go this year, which I think is the smart thing to do. The guy is a cheat, and a liar, and has tarnished the game of baseball forever. He's the Pete Rose of our generation, and he deserves no respect. Barry....your time in the spotlight is over....go home with you tail between your legs. Here's the story from yesterday.
