I'm guessing he'll get alot of one response to his question of what to do with that ball.

Which one? I like the branding and sending to Cooperstown option. While I normally wouldn't want to alter historic memorabilia, Bonds did it in the first place, so why not?

I wonder, though, if the hall would display the ball in such condition.

Barry's, or Mark Ecko's?

And, FWIW, we have a wiener:

The ball will be marked with an asterisk and sent to the HOF.

I'm surprised the HoF will still accept it with the brand. Or maybe they'll just display it so the brand isn't showing?

As per the article:

"Hall of Fame president Dale Petroskey, also interviewed on the show, said accepting the ball did not mean the Hall endorses the viewpoint that Barry Bonds used drugs.

'We're happy to get it,' he said. 'We're a nonprofit history museum, so this ball wouldn't be coming to Cooperstown without Marc Ecko buying it from the fan who caught it.'"​

I guess if you think of the HoF as a museum, then displaying it, brand and all, makes sense. It's history. If the museum took it upon itself to brand the ball, then THAT would be a story....
