Did you hear about Bonds' ball?

hahaha, i read today that the ball that barry bonds hit to break the all time homerun record is going to go to the hall of fame. that isn't the funny part. the funny part is that it is going to have an asteric mark burned into it..lol.. Marc Ecko bought the ball in an online auction and thought about even shooting it into space. He decided to have it sent to the hall of fame with the mark on it. i wonder if he gets paid for giving the ball up?
