Regardless of what some think of Bonds, that ball will still fetch a pretty peny.

 

[Addendum]

I would've blown it up, just to piss off every one

I think it's smart to auction it off now, since the story is probably as hot as it ever will be. I really feel like baseball is dropping. Only about 1.2 million viewers watched Bonds hit that historic homerun, while around 7 million viewers watched a preseaon Cowboys game.

I saw a story where the IRS is gonna make sure they get their share of it, lol.

Which ball? the left or right?





































C'mon! You knew someone would come in and say it!

it won't sell as much as the last home run ball that bonds hits for the season.I'm happy that he's telling the media " I can't afford the taxes" cause it'll just make the IRS look bad. Hitting the lottery has a dark side.

i bet todd mcfarlane ends up buying it.

You can't really compare baseball and football in terms of television viewers/ratings though. Baseball is on just about every day and Bonds was stuck at just under the record for like two-three weeks, only real SF and Bonds fans are gonna be watching every day. Football on the other hand is one game a week, it's much more of an event. There's a much different mentallity to me between watching baseball and football, it's 162 games over 6 months with a game just about every day vs. 16 games over 4 months, only on Sundays, it's a much easier and event based viewing schedule for football.
