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.

Sammy Sosa hit Home Run #599 on Friday Night and no one seems to care.
Some might say it's because Barry Bonds is overshadowing him, but Sosa really did it to himself.

....Point A happens to be the offices of the National Football League. Point B is where Plaxico shot himself in the thigh. It's a little hard to see, but I think you can get the idea of the insane proximity between the club and the NFL's offices.
Walking, this is a distance of .1 mile, which is somewhere around 500 or 600 feet. Plax is lucky that Goodell wasn't in...

As I'm getting ready to watch Game Four of the White Sox - Rays ALDS, here are some quick thoughts on what transpired on the diamond this past weekend:
Chicago Cubs
Oh, the great shame. Baseball is a cruel game and a five-game playoff series can shatter the idea of what is a successful season. The Cubs didn't hit, the Cubs struggled defensively and the Cubs starting...

Won't you please save a word today? Me, I'm going with boreism, or possibly namelings to describe the dozens of Ramerizi in MLB.NY Yankees Rumors.com has dozens of photos of the new yard, which looks really big and very expensive -- shocking, I am sure. His caption for the photo above ("It’s like an all Yankees Cooperstown") either shows that he's never actually...

Apparently it's news that Barry Bonds' body is different than 15 years ago when he was a Pirate. One of my friends at work and I were discussing Bonds and went off on a tangent about steroids in NASCAR. What if Mark Martin injected HGH into his right foot? Maybe Chad Knaus' baldness is due to heavy u...

Sociopaths in Baseball
At this point I have no choice but to assume that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are sociopaths. Now, I know that’s a somewhat bold statement to make, but let’s consider how these two men have acted over the past months and years.
First of all, it’s...

The past week has to go down as one of the wackiest in recent sports history.
* Barry Bonds was finally indicted on perjury and obstruction charges relating to allegedly lying about his use of steroids.
* Alex Rodriguez is back with the New York Yankees, despite the Yankees' insistence that they were done with him after he opted out of his contract...

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!!!!
