I think maybe you guys are missing the symbolism? Putting an asterisk on the ball reminds us of the asterisk we have in our heads every time we think of Barry Bonds and what he's achieved. He has cheated to get to that achievement. I think we need to hold people to a higher standard in a day and age where dumb bimbos have tv shows that show off their stupidity...and athletes use anything in everything to symbolically piss on their sport. Why shouldn't that ball be branded and put on display...should we forget that this milestone, possibly the greatest milestone in all of sports, has been achieved through cheating?
I think branding it with an asterisk is a perfect way to say to society 'you can have your homerun hero, but...'
