Vote On The Fate of 755, As Well
Posted by tuff

I hope this doesn't become a trend, but the man who spent $186,750 on Barry Bonds' 755th home run ball (the one that tied Hank Aaron's career total) has also set up an online poll to determine the fate of the ball.

Ben Padnos is taking votes on this website. He's offering fans one of two choices – save the ball or destroy the ball. Padnos is also selling ads on the site in order to generate extra revenue.

Marc Ecko, a fashion designer, bought Bonds' 756th HR ball. He is conducting an online poll through Sept. 25 to let fans determine whether the ball will go to the Hall of Fame as is, with a large asterisk added to the ball, or have it sent off into space (seriously).

The 33-year-old Padnos said he and about a dozen friends pooled their money to make the winning bid in an auction hosted by Sotheby's/SCP Auctions that closed Sept. 15.
