Commemorate Barry Bonds Home Run Record with an Asterisk

* PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE WHO WILL BE ATTENDING ANY SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS GAMES UNTIL BARRY STEROIDS THE RECORD OVER THE FENCE
The only way to properly commemorate a new All-time home run record provide by Barry Bonds would be for the person who happens to catch the ball, pullout a permanent sharpie marker and proceed to place an asterisk on the ball. Then throw the ball back into the field so it is not lost in the crowd. This is asking one fan to throw away at least half a million dollars, but a true fan of the game would give this game back to the fan, if only for one moment. What a huge moment though? So here are the steps again:
1. Catch infamous home run ball -![]() |
2. Pull out sharpie![]() |
3. Apply Asterick to ball![]() |
4. Throw it back into the outfield |
|
5. Be on every talk show on TV, have countless article’s written about you, do an exclusive on this blog. More than likely make more than what would you by selling the ball through donations sent by the real baseball fans around the world. |
|
6. Just in case, buy bulk pack of Sharpies so everyone in your section has a chance to do the right thing. |
So would you be able to throw away 500k for a chance to go down in baseball lore? To be the person who gave baseball back to the fans for at least 1 day? Let me know with a comment.

I do not have enough integrity to throw that ball back.

I would not call it a lack of integrity. It would be like throwing away a lottery ticket, but I think that there would be at least 100,000 baseball fans who would send you $10 each to thank you. I would be down for $100.
