Though I live in Jacksonville, Florida, I happen to have a ticket to the August 10th game in San Francisco. I had a business trip scheduled, and wanted to see the park. It never occurred to me that Bonds would still be chasing the record.
There is NO chance I'll catch his home run ball. I'm sitting a few rows up from the home dugout. If I'm lucky I'll get a pop up.
There's no question in my mind, though, that if the ball came into my possession, it would belong to the Hall of Fame. I don't much like Barry Bonds, but that's not the point. Not everything has to fall prey to shameless commercialism.
