After hearing enough of his friends' bickering over baseball slugger Barry Bonds and the legitimacy of his recently accomplished home-run record, hip-hop-fashion mogul Marc Ecko decided to put his money where his mouth was.
Ecko paid $752,467 in the Sotheby's/SCP bidding war for Bonds' 756th home-run ball and was rewarded on Saturday when he won the auction. But instead of keeping the prize all for himself, Ecko decided to let fans determine its fate. He has set up a Web site, Vote756.com, where fans can vote on three different possible outcomes for the ball: Send it to Cooperstown with or without an asterisk — to signify the controversy that has accompanied Bonds' home-run record — or launch it into space. The voting began Monday (September 17) and will last for one week.
