Personally, I would brand it with an asterisk THEN donate it...  ;D  Then I would blast Mr. Bonds into space...  ;)

well considering that one day it could be worth millions, I would (if i had that kind of cash)


the bat that Babe Ruth used to hit his first homerun in the new Yankee Satdium was sold 2 years ago for $23 million so you can imagine what this ball will go for in 20-50 years....

I would sell it and clear my mortgage. It is only going to have real value until the next guy who breaks the record comes along.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I think you guys missed the point.  It's not about what you would do if you could sell the ball.  It's which of the three choices available would you choose?  :P

Sorry, but why?  :-?

It's a baseball, no different from any other, some guy paid 3/4 of $1million for it, to do what?!  :-?

It does nothing, just to look at, and now hes giving it away?
Hmm, money well spent, no?   :-X
