Thanks to My Readers
A few days ago I asked my loyal readers to weigh in on what to do with the Barry Bonds baseball. You guys responded and
pushed the vote over the top. An overwhelming majority of you (at least as many as voted for Bill Clinton back in the day) thought that branding the baseball with a big red astertik. Which is being more polite than the ‘roid boy deserves. If cramming the ball up Bond’s ass had been a choice I can only imagine how the vote would have gone.
All in all the Hall of Fame is glad to have the ball.
“This ball wouldn’t be coming to Cooperstown if Marc hadn’t bought it from the fan who caught it and then let the fans have their say,” Hall of Fame President Dale Petroskey told The Associated Press. “We’re delighted to have the ball. It’s a historic piece of baseball history.”
But just to cover their collective ass, the HOF lawyers got the right words into print. In case Bonds ever choose to sue.
Petroskey said accepting the ball did not mean the Hall in Cooperstown, N.Y., endorses the viewpoint that Barry Bonds used drugs.
Ten million people voted to put the brand on the ball. According to my un-named source over four million of those came from this site alone. Not shabby, but I wonder why the rest of you didn’t take the time to vote.
