Bonds' Ball: Bestow, Brand, Banish?

Earlier we reported that Barry Bonds' home run #756 ball sold for $752,467. The buyer was designer Marc Ecko, who's offering fans the chance to vote on the ball's fate:

A) BESTOW IT.
Give the ball to Cooperstown. The ball that broke Hank Aaron's career home run record belongs in the Hall of Fame.

B) BRAND IT.
Burn an asterisk into the ball with a branding iron, adding a permanent footnote to the record. Then, send it to Cooperstown.

C) BANISH IT.
Put the ball on a rocket ship and launch it into orbit, a moon shot for the ages. Out of sight, out of mind.

I know how I'm voting. Click on the picture to vote. (Voting ends September 25.)

I see danger of options 2 and 3 splitting the Bonds-hater vote...maybe Ecko should have held a primary election first
