What to do with the $750k baseball?
 
I voted A. I don't know why someone would pay 3/4 of a million bones for a baseball in the first place, but to give the damn thing away afterwards just shows this guy has more money than brains. :S

I voted to brand it, but I'd much prefer branding it with a picture of a juiced up nog playing a hero.

i think the fucked up thing is that the guy who caught it could have gotten ALOT more on ebay.. and the other fucked up thing is that he claimed he was walking away with 90k? or some bullshit? he sold the ball for 750 and he only gets 90??

I guess the auction company made like $150k off it. :S He has to pay a shitload of taxes and fees for it, too. After the government and auction company are done with him I'd say he's lucky to be walking away with anything. :3

Does that make it anything more than it is? A baseball? If thats the case then the bat that broke the record should be worth a million. And the exhaled breath from whoever hit the stupid ball should be worth like 3 million.

Actually the exhaled breath sold for $4.8mil and the bat sold for $5.5mil. :l The dirty underwear he was wearing at the time he hit the ball sold for 12.9mil. :S

He's obviously getting his money out of it through viral internet marketing and television exposure.

yeah, i know what you mean...the bat is deffinatly worth that or damn close to it. its all considered "pricless memorbelia(sp?)"...only reason its worth that much is cause it represents history that was made in the baseball people will pay alot of money to own a piece of history. i remember reading about a hot dog that was baught during the seahawks division championship game that sold for like $75K or some crazy price like that.
