Well folks, looks like me and Mitch were correct. The public decided and the ball is rightfully so going to Cooperstown...but with an asterisk. Mitch and I both wanted and voted for the ball going to the Hall of Fame unblemished, but we did state on our inaugural podcast that we thought the people were going to vote for the ball going in, but they would vote for the "Brand It" option. And that's exactly what they did. The ball Marc Ekco purchased for $752,467 on September 15th was going to be decided in our hands and "Brand It" received 47% of the votes ("Bestow It" received 34%, and "Banish It"received 19%). I think this is truly unfortunate for the world of baseball. No matter if Barry "did" stuff, it's still a historic record, and should be treated as such.(Photo by Winslow Townson.) © 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
