oh lord...thats crazy all that money for just one hit by barry bonds..all i gotta say is sutton better never loose that ball. he is sitting on a fortune

base ball the all time sport that has been around longer the ever. bonds was a good player and broke the top record but 6 figures to buy a ball to hold on to it for a while and sell it for 7 figures is a nice thought but truely redundent in my opinion. and not worth the money witch could have been spent in better ways

A base ball that sells for six figures is mind-blowing to me. But i can see why it would, because some people are baseball crazy. I think that some people would pay more than 6 figures if indeed it was his last home-run. Also i think that this baseball will increase in value over time. In conclusion I think that BB's last home run is a vary valuable item.

I think that the idea of holding on to a ball that you payed 6 figures for then selling it for 7 figures is a good idea cause that would make you a lot of money and with that you could help people

i Think if they wnat to spend all that money on a baseball let them its there money. Maybe by buying the baseball could help out the economy out just a little. But in others words i could of bought a nice and fast car with that money or even a house but it was his money so let him spend it.

Bonds is probably one of the all time greats I grew up watching this guy I would pay a 6 figure sum to turn around years later and sell it for a seven figure sum who wouldn't for real you would be stupid not to because if you did sell it for a seven figure sum you would be making a huge profit because Bonds is the all time homerun king and someone out there would pay that much for a ball

i think its crazy how a baseball can sell for that much sutton better keep that ball for as long as he can.many people are crazy enough to pay that for a ball.

paying that much for a baseball is absolutly crazy to me. But I guess if your a millionaire and a baseball fanatic it wouldnt hurt none. I think Im gonna start going to baseball games so I can try to catch one the odds arent very good but getting even 1000 bucks for a baseball would be well worth it let alone 200,000+ dollars that buys me a house in one payment.

Wow. Thats insane but baseball is baseball and its also a major sport in our lifes. I cant imagine the LAST EVER baseball he will ever hit out of the park would go for -.-

sutton is a lucky man to catch that ball is about to be rich like rich because barry bonds cracked a ball right to him i wish i was him right now and if barry decides not to play again people are gonna want that ball for a fortune.

Wow. I don't think i would ever pay that much money for a baseball. I might try to sell one for that much but never buy one. But who knows someone will most likely buy that ball for a whole lot more in the future.

Baseball is spending way too much but i guess its worth it for the fanatics if they keep watching and going to the games the League will never lose money its a great benifit for the teams but not the ppl spendeing money for a game that they may be disappointed over.

Oh my lanta. That is NUTS. People can make so much money for just about anything these days. You make a home run- you're rich in the big leagues. You make up a song lyric and throw a couple of pick up lines and drugs- you're famous. It doesn't take much. 7 figures???? wow..

I think that its completely stupid to pay that much for anything like a sports collectible. Whoever has that ball better not lose it
