You've probably already heard that the ball was sold - the interesting thing is that the buyer, Marc Ecko, created a website for the fans to vote on what to do with the ball.
Send to Hall of Fame
Brand it with an asterisk and send to Hall of Fame

I don't really think the seconds choice is really an option as I doubt the Hall of Fame would display the ball with an asterisk written on it.

I voted asterisk. Here is my reasoning. First of all if you send it into space, it will be forgetting easily. If you send it to the hall of fame, then you are supporting a sham. But if you brand it, and find a place to display it whether that be in the hall if they accept it or in someother location, it will always be remembered as a sham record. Thats how I feel anyway.

You are speaking for far too many people. I do care what happens to it, and I wanna see it go into the Hall

Now where was I speaking for far too many people. I said you were, then said that I want to see it in the Hall

Ted may look innocent but if he had an opposable thumb you can bet he'd be right in there setting up the dynamite.

IF you were to take all the stuff out off the hall of fame that was tainted nothing would be left. Put in the ball where it needs to be in the HOF. People from all era's cheated. In whatever way they could.
