The Infamous Baseball
Spending Money, Good Stories | 497 ViewsEarly in August I posted about the Barry Bonds Baseball and how it was controversial and could eventually sell for a large sum of money. Well, the ball was eventually sold to a fashion designer named Marc Ecko, who paid over $750,000 US for the ball. So, what did he do with it?
Well in my opinion he used it to be a fantastic opportunity to promote himself and his work. He opened the fate of the ball to the world. Would he Bestow the ball, mark it with an * or launch it into outer space.
47% of the 10 million votes choose to brand the ball with a mark to signify the ball represented the drug scandal that Barry Bonds was involved with.

Most people average 4 careers in their working lives. I have been a Cook, Hotel Clerk, Black Jack Dealer and now I am a web designer.
At 30 I realized that early retirement would be the next logical step. For me to achieve early retirement I will need to earn and save $1 million by July 2012. It is my personal goal to use online revenue streams to achieve my goal to become financially independent and allow me to live my life to the fullest.
