Marc Ecko, the hip hop clothing mogul was the one who purchased Barry Bonds record breaking homer. Instead of keeping it, he's allowing the public to decide what happens to the ball by voting on three options.
1. Give it to the baseball hall of fame.
2. Brand it with an Asterisk, and then give it to the baseball hall of fame.
3. Send it into outer space
Given the destructive nature of most people, option 1 is pretty much out of the question.

The is the auction of the century! Clothing designer Marc Ecko was the winning bidder in the Barry Bonds 756 home run ball, and through fan voting decided to send it to Cooperstown with and asterisk on it. Now if that's not the dumbest thing we've ever heard of, this definitely takes the cake...check it:
www.101collection.com is for the people! So now YOU the people have the opportunity to own a piece of HISTORY (sort of)
You are looking at the official Barry Bonds 000.756 HOME RUN BALL! Yes people, it is true! WE HAVE IT! This quite possibly (we're not 100% sure) might be the ball that Barry fouled out with in a game this season. (Since we're not sure if this is the ball, we're not completely sure of the game either) And if our calculations are right (we're not sure), this ball was almost a home run, but missed it by 000.244%! That's what makes it the .756 home run ball! (We think). It comes encased in what appears to be glass, though we're not sure, and is really, really nice. Its in great condition (except for the words and these funky red thread on it), and can be yours! Now I know you might be asking yourself, why should you believe this is the coveted Barry Bonds .756 ball? WE believe it! Especially since when we obtained the ball, Kanye West's new song "Barry Bonds" was playing! IT'S A SIGN! (Hot song by the way, check it out). Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of history!!!!!
Unlike the Marc Ecko 756 ball, which will be stamped with an asterisk resembling one of his logos, this ball with have a very unique STAR (much like our logo, as seen on www.101collection.com) emblazoned on it! How cool is that?!
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
The winning bidder will received the ball, exquisite jewel case, AND will get a FREE item from our 101 Clothing line of their choice!
WE'RE NOT THROUGH!
Since all orders on www.101collection.com come with a FREE CD (all genres) and POSTER, the winning bid will get the new KANYE WEST album featuring the song "BARRY BONDS" and a poster as well! You can't beat that with a baseball bat! That's a home run, like:
BARRY BONDS!!!!
