Do I Hear An Ecko

Fashion designer, and I use the term lightly, Marc Ecko purchased Barry Bonds' record breaking 756th home run ball for $750,000. Now in a shameless publicity stunt, Ecko is asking fans to vote on what he should do with the ball. Should he brand it with an asterisk? Should he give it to the Hall Of Fame? Or should he blast it into outer space? I have an idea. How about you save your 750 grand, and maybe donate it to a worthy cause. Look, I like collecting memorabilia just as much as the next guy, but I would never drop anything like the Marc Eckos and Todd McFarlanes of the world. This is getting ridiculous and it's getting to the point where fans are mauling eachother at games in an attempt to catch the next historic piece of merchandise. So I for one don't care what Ecko does with the ball and neither should anyone else. His clothes are weak and so is this ploy for some pub.
