    Bonds ball to be BRANDED *

    Just saw this over at MLB.com

    I think this goes beyond just baseball IMO, so that's why it's here and not in the baseball forum.
    Interesting.......and I agree.

    Re: Bonds ball to be BRANDED *

    Not that I have a problem with it, but it just doesn't seem necessary. I know some people have mentioned that he will always be seen as a cheater regardless of what's on the ball, and they are right. Just putting the ball in the Hall of Fame as it was would have been enough, but this is a bit more interesting.

      Obviously a promotion for his new * line of clothing.

          It's not him. It's the people. The people voted.

          The people also say this thread should be in the MLB forum, and who am I to deny the people of what they want?

            Doesn't bother me one bit. Bonds is a tainted athlete and the ball deserves and asterisk rightfully so. This lets future generations of baseball fans know that Bonds was a cheater.

                  That's what I voted for. I never thought he'd go through with this though.

                    I'm fine with him branding it with an *, but I don't think it should be submitted to the HOF like that.

                        Do you think that you would still be this angry at bonds if he were not such an @$$ in public?

                        There are other athletes that have been connected to steroids, but do not even come close to the animosity that Bonds has received.

                        To me, I view him as a cheater, but I dislike him more for his attitude.

                          Marc Ecko is the man, not many would have the balls to do what he's doing.

                            Doesn't take balls to figure out that something like this is MAJOR publicity for yourself and your company.

                            If someone like Bill Gates did this, would you be saying the same thing?

                              He should be creative and put 756 little asterisks on the entire ball.
