DENVER - After snaring the baseball Barry Bonds hit for career homer No. 762, Jameson Sutton stored it in the safest place he could think of - deep inside his closet.
"I didn't tell anyone," he said.
The 24-year-old from Boulder, Colo., quickly moved the baseball into a safety deposit box after the season was finished, realizing its potential worth. And with Bonds still looking for a place to play this season, Sutton decided to come forward with the ball.
Well, I know for a fact that I couldn't afford it... so I don't really consider it.
Though, I basically agree with you - I really don't support the 'history' of Bonds' chase of the record and would rather not be a part of that.

Even if I could afford it, I would not get it. He did not hit every one of them without performance enhancing drugs, and I do not want to get a ball when he did not hit each home run honestly.
