espn.com - Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball, which owner Marc Ecko said he would brand with an asterisk and send to the Hall of Fame to comply with the results of an Internet poll, could be on display at the Cooperstown, N.Y., museum by Opening Day, according to an ESPN.com report.

"We'll display it, but the text accompanying the ball will cover when it was hit and how it ended up in Cooperstown," Jeff Idelson, the Hall's vice president for communications and education, told reporters. "It's meant to be educational."

Ecko, who bought the record-breaking ball for $752,000 at an online auction, still has the ball, Idelson said. [READ]
