$1 million for a baseball...
Quote:
How much will Barry Bonds' eventual 756th home-run ball be worth to the fan who retrieves it? At least $1 million.
A Dallas auction house has offered a $1 million bounty for the historic ball.
"We invite the lucky owner who delivers this historic baseball, as verified by Major League Baseball, to redeem it for a $1 million bounty at a Dallas news conference within 15 days of the record-breaking homer," Chris Ivy, drector of Sports Auctions for Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas, said Sunday.
Bonds, who has 11 home runs this season, is just 11 homers shy of breaking Hank Aaron's all-time record of 755 home runs.
"The baseball that sets the mark could truly be considered 'priceless,' but we expect that $1 million dollars will be very tempting to the fan who catches that ball." Ivy said.

ESPN.com - MLB - Auction house offers $1M for Bonds' 756 HR ball
Thats one way to make sure Barry doesn't get the ball after his breaks the record. I sure as hell wouldn't offer the ball back to Bonds when I could give it to an auction house for a cool million.

For Madden people the best way to explain it is that he has a very low awareness.

Screw a million...I'd hold on to that thing and sell it to the highest bidder.
I'm sure some baseball buff would offer you more then a million.

Someone is going to get killed for that ball. I'd hope it'd be like in a crap area where nobody is sitting so there isn't a stuggle.
Even then, the problem is IF you get that ball you still have to get out of the stadium ALIVE with it lol.

I'm willing to bet that when he gets closer to that mark, the stands will start to fill up more and more and there won't really be a crap area where nobody is sitting. Or at least not in right, which is where he tends to hit a lot of his HR's anyways...

They will bring security guards over to escort you out usually, unless you already  take off out of the stadium.

There isn't...
Wouldn't surprise me in the least bit to see a big pile up with many-an-injury, followed by multiple lawsuits for the ball. It should be fun!

Nope, (as the player) I'd just get my hands on one of my next HR balls...it's still record-setting, just not the "big one". Even then, why not just give them the bat that hit it?

Thats messed up. How does he not deserve it? I see him out there every game playing for his team and doing what he gets paid to do. He busted his butt for years and you say he doesn't deserve the record? Thats b/s.
As for the bay drownings, I wouldn't doubt that lmao. |
