Countdown to Bonds' 756
Only a few hours remains before the 6 p.m. (PDT) deadline approaches on the fate of Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball.
Fashion guru Marc Ecko spent more than $750,000 to buy the ball at auction and has set up a website -- www.vote756.com -- that allows three options for the ball's fate. According to his digital counter, more than 10 million have voted.
The choices: Give it to the Hall of Fame as it, brand it with an asterisk and give it to the Hall, or blast it into outer space.
"He's stupid. He's an idiot," Bonds has said. "He spent $750,000 on the ball and that's what he's doing with it? What he's doing is stupid."
The stupid part is you can vote as many times as you want, seemingly all day if you like.
At least the counter on the site that'll determine the fate for home run No. 755 is a bit more realistic.
On EndTheDebate.com more than 18,000 have voted to smash No. 755, while more than 8,000 want to save it. No word on when the voting ends there.
**==UPDATE: Ecko's website now says you have to tune into NBC's "Today" show Wednesday at 7 a.m. to find out the results of the poll........
