NEW YORK -- The ball Barry Bonds hit for his record-breaking 756th home run will be branded with an asterisk and sent to the Baseball Hall of Fame, its owner said Wednesday.

Fashion designer Marc Ecko, who bought the ball in an online auction, set up a website for fans to vote on the ball's fate, and the decision to brand it won out over the other options, sending it to the museum unblemished or launching it into space.

We're going to be working with the folks at the Hall of Fame," Ecko said on NBC's Today show.

Ecko, whom Bonds called "an idiot" last week, had the winning bid Sept. 15 in the online auction for the ball that Bonds hit Aug. 7 to break Hank Aaron's record of 755 home runs. The final selling price was $752,467, well above most predictions that assumed Bonds' status as a lightning rod for the steroids debate in baseball would depress the value.

The asterisk suggests that Bonds' record is tainted by alleged steroid use. The slugger has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. Fans brought signs with asterisks on them to ballparks as he neared Aaron's hallowed mark.

Would the HOF really disrespect Barroids like that and display that?

Does the HOF really have a choice, if they want to display the record breaking ball ?

The VP of the HOF put it best this morning on Mike and Mike. The HOF is a non-profit musuem and is for the fans. The fans voted for this and the HOF is going to take that piece of history to show what the fans think of this era of baseball. It goes beyond Bonds. Who knows? They might just place the ball where the * is on the bottom

This is a hilarious story. I don't care if the guy's stupid, or if it "disrespects Barry" or whatever, it's damn funny.

I was personally rooting for this guy to waste money shooting it into space. Now that would have been something!
