LOL...I'd prefer that ball over the cheaters ball. I hope that the Barry Bonds 756th no one was interested in it.
I am really ashamed of the San Diego fans applauding the 755th.

Anywho...I love the whole back story. He's a riot.

And he's going to make $10 for a $1 ball too.
I wish I could sell something and get ten times the amount than it's worth.

If Chad Cordero doesn't blow 7 games that team is .500 this year. Who would have expected that.

Proud of my Nationals and proud of Barry Bonds

But even the best blow saves. Cordero has a 2.62 era. Also, all the losses weren't blamed on him since he only has 2 losses.

The Nats, i can see, but you're only saying Bonds to irritate me aren't you. Even after I left that whole Stewart vs Harvick thing alone.

Please. You're not that important. I am a Bonds supporter. What you think of him has nothing to do with my opinion. Don't give yourself that much credit.

your thinking entertains me. so back in the mid to late 90's, when everyone was using them, what do you say about Roger Clemens 350 wins? or Sosa's 600 homers? there were no rules against it. the players and the owners both made alot of money, and got fans involved with baseball again. Raphael Palmeiros 3000 hits? dare i say Cal Ripkens 2194?

Re: Buy Bonds 756 Hr Ball Now!!!!!!
 

that auction is funny... im going to watch it and bid at the last minute... if I win it ill put it in my redskin room i'll be working on this fall...

I think it's all tainted. All of it.
Although I do not feel Ripken's record is tainted due to the fact that I don't think he did anything, but he could have, so who knows.
I used to LOVE baseball, it was my favorite sport until the strike back in the early 90's. Even though I loved Football, that's when Football became my #1 sport. I never left football as my number 1, but I allowed the McGwire's of the world to bring me back to baseball and it was my #2 sport. After this, Baseball has fallen to NASCAR, and I am disgusted with Baseball.
If I was Selig, I am unsure of what I would do, so I don't blame him. But I do blame all of baseball for allowing this and sweeping it under the rug for many years.

It's Bonds!
But you're right...there is plenty of other places to bitch about Bonds cheating.

The fact that it's a wiffle ball just makes me laugh. His creativity will give him a few bucks.

Re: Buy Bonds 756 Hr Ball Now!!!!!!
 

I have no disrespect for anyone who disagrees but I honestly don't know how anyone can actually cheer for the man. I can understand not wanting to completely hate the guy until their is an actual positive test, but there is just way too much stuff that points to him being guilty. As someone was talking about on ESPN last night after this happened, his head has gotten proportionaly(sp?) larger and that can only result from a couple of ways including HGH and having the same form of gigantism that Andre the Giant suffered from. Then there is the fact his former trainer is willing to do serious jail time rather than testify against his former friend, Bonds. Not too mention how completely different his body was from 1999 to 2000. And I don't care how much work an athlete puts into their workout program, there is absolutely no possible way an baseball player could suddenly jump from 31.8 hrs/yr to 51.6 hrs/yr during the five years after his much scrutinized drastic change in body style and widely reported initial usage of HGH and the like. I don't believe his acheivements since then have been on the up and up much like I don't believe Roger Clemens could have been stayed @ the level he had been at before this year w/o some type of help. Maybe it's the pessimist in me but there's just too much evidence for me to accept the acheivements over those from the past. I have no problems saying Bonds was an absolutely exceptional player before 2000 and could have gone down as one of the top 10 players of all time but the past few years have forever tarnished his career in my eyes personally. Just like I used to like MacGuire from back in his days with Oakland & St.Louis and now I can't believe I used to cheer for the guy.

I agree with everything you said.

I do think it's funny that McGwire has fallen from grace. Everyone is pointing to Bonds and allowing him to be in good graces, but McGwire has not been implicated, and in fact, what people use to say Mark was guilty was his not wanting to talk about the steroids. Fact is Mark said he took Andro, which was legal, but yet everyone has dismissed Mark's achievements, and not Bonds. Odd.

Well, here is the updated question.... the auction price is now over 3G... you think the guy will actually get paid????

Of course he will...if they bid on it, they enter into a binding contract!

You think everyone who bids on something actually pays for it... I have always heard that for these high profile things, people bid on it just to say they have..... I reckon Leno will be talking about this soon.

Re: Buy Bonds 756 Hr Ball Now!!!!!!
 

It is now up to 4G.... I bet that as soon as this listing is over, the high bidder will have buyer's remorse and would be very suprised the fork over that kind of cash.

Dang.... I wish I would have thought about something like this ahead of time... he he gets the cash...... damn

That's the problem though. When you say "Barry cheated" you sorta miss the point. He probably did, however, you clearly state that you believe that a lot of other guys were too. I mean, Jason Grimsley and Guillermo Mota have each tested positive for God's sake! They're fringe Major Leaguers at best and they are on the juice. If they're juicing, I have to believe everyone was, which makes it impossible to separate Barry from the pack. I cheer for the man because I am happy to see a record like this fall in my lifetime and I've always liked watching Barry Bonds play. Up until a few years ago, he was probably the best all around ball player since his godfather, Willie Mays.

I am willing to acknowledge that Bonds probably did juice. However, my problem is: so did everyone else. I posted an article by Buster Olney where he says that can't compare different eras in baseball because "science" changes and so do baseballs, ballparks, etc. Bonds broke baseball's most hallowed record by using steroids in an era that has been dominated by steroid users. I have no problem with a guy being greater than every other hitter in his generation, especially not when they were all on the juice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, baseball deserves this. They turned a blind eye to roids for years, then decided they would become indignant that people were actually doing them. It's bs. They knew what was going on and as long as people kept coming through the turnstyles they'd sweep it under the rug. Now, that there is so much light on it, they want to talk about records not being legitimate or keep people out of the Hall of Fame, it's not right. Until every other cheater ever comes out of the Hall, McGwire, Canseco and Bonds all deserve to go in. It's not a popularity contest, it's about greatness and they're all great ballplayers, regardless of why.
