Uber rich fashion designer Marc Ecko purchased Bonds' HR recorded breaking ball for $750,000+ back on Sept. 15. At that time, Ecko announced he would let fans decide the fate of the ball by voting on a website he setup.The choices were:
a. bestow it (give it to the hall of fame unaltered),
b. brand it (give it to the hall of fame after premanently marking the ball with an asterisk)
c. banish it. (launch the ball into space)
Well the votes are in and fans have decided mark that sucker with an asterisk! I admit I voted for the asterisk myself, and it makes me happy to see it turn out this way.
Baseball and/or the baseball hall of fame would never have the balls (pun totally intended) to differentiate Bonds achievement in the steroid/HGH era from that of Hank Aaron. Bonds has admitted to using a two steroids concoctions he swears he didn't know were steroids. Enough said.

If I were Mark Ecko, and thank god I'm not, but if I were, I would brand it with a syringe graphic. Something like this:
