"The Chase" has finally ended….Body By Balco finally hit the damn thing! So many story lines surround *756 and sure we’ll hear this story from every angle in the next coming days…Just like we’ve heard for over a year now! Can we just let it go people…How many people actually care? How many people embrace the new record holder? How many people actually believe the hot air that he spits from his pie hole? All these questions have the same answers…All of which aren’t what they should be! Nevertheless, no matter the doubts I or anybody riding on the same Balco bandwagon believes with Bud Selig driving it, until some hard evidence is gathered, the Incredible Hulk is the Homerun King. The worst part of all of this is, it leaves Pedro Gomez out of a job now!
Which brings me to this…How much is the *756 ball worth? That’s the question 22-year-old New Yorker Matt Murphy is asking himself. For he was the lucky fan emerging from beneath the pile holding the ball Bonds hit...His face was bloodied and his clothes stretched and torn from his battle in the bleachers. Just your average baseball game at AT&T park. Who actually drew sympathy from Bonds after the game… "I just hope he didn't get hurt." No Barry, the cat’s from New York…I’m sure he felt right at home fighting for his life.
Murphy and a friend were en route to Australia and in San Francisco for a one-day layover, a Giants spokesman said. They purchased tickets just before the game…Something to be said about timing! Mr. Murphy definitely found his golden ticket in San Francisco…Why am I getting visions of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Charlie Joey Chestnutted that second chocolate bar which he bought for his grandfather I might add, only to find the last Golden Ticket? Weird how that just came back to me all at once! Although one thing’s for sure, Matt will certainly be leaving his heart in San Francisco!
Now as for the ball, well Bonds has this to say…" I don't want the ball…"I've never believed a home run ball belonged to the player. If he caught it, it's his." A word of advice Matt, you might want to cancel your trip to the Crocodile Dundee Land…Or just make sure the ball is in your carry on and not your cargo luggage as some dumbass Chicago Bears fans found out arriving in Miami for the Super Bowl and their luggage didn’t. OOPS! So now that Bonds doesn’t want his ball…Baseball memorabilia experts have pegged the ball's value at $400,000 to $500,000. Not too shabby considering the fact the M-Squared wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place…Purchasing the ticket just before the game.
What is with momentous home runs being caught by New Yorkers as of late? Walter "Sonny" Kowalczyk, a Rutgers graduate student came away from another rough scrum in the stands for a valuable keepsake… Alex Rodriguez 500th home run ball. However, unlike Barry, Bitch Boyrod wants his ball back! Aw yes, don’t we just love seeing that 6-year old mentality from this clown? "It’s my ball and I want it back, Jack!" "Give me my ball, otherwise I’m telling!" And again this is what makes A-Rod, well, A-Rod…Because he indeed a clown! Telling the Yankees brass to get it back for him! How about do it yourself? Yeah, how about trying that on for size!
He had the Yankees peeps, led by media relations director Jason Zillo, trying to make a deal with the Rutgers graduate student who came away from the mosh pit with the instant treasure. The one who was roughed up in the scramble and later was examined for injuries by Stadium personnel. Word has it the negotiations involved Yankee jerseys and other memorabilia, along with season tickets. Gee, that’s so nice of them…Kissing Mr. Kowalczyk before breaking off one in his dookie shoot! Did they find a penny on the ground too and pick it up? You’re kidding me…Jersey(s) and season tickets for something that has a five figure value to it! Oh yeah, and let’s not forget to mention, A-WHAD, well, he’s not exactly on food stamps! While you’re at it, why don’t you drown his dog too!
"It's his ball, I'm happy for him and hopefully we can negotiate something to get the ball back," said A-Rod, who became the 22nd player in baseball history - and the youngest - to reach 500. "I really want it back. But if not, I congratulate him for catching it. Nice catch." Okay, so if you really want something, what do you normally tend to do? Don’t you buy it? Hell, you have no problems buying that blondie stripper and filming the movie "Canadian Nights", so why not just take some of your $256 million and splurge for it? I know, $256 million may seem like a lot, but it really isn’t!
The ball is something he wants to keep at home, though. "I'm not a big collector. At some point, I'm going to gather some things for my daughter, who hates to come to the stadium; that's why she's not here today. It's too hot for her," he said of 2-year-old Natasha. "But I definitely want that ball." Good to see your daughter’s cause is so important to you that you won’t even pay the guy yourself…Having the Yankees brass trying to nickel & dime him on your behalf. Gee, I wonder why it is again that we love to hate you? Your willing to pay a stripper to have her show you a workout Canadian style, but you’re not willing to get your daughter what you want her to have…Great Job! Okay, so it will cost more than Oh Canada did…And some things are priceless in life too! Like a daughter’s smile…Guess it can’t be worth that much to you then, can it?
"Hopefully, the club will be able to take care of this," Alex’s Scott Boras said. "I'm sure the Yankees will be happy to give him season tickets for 10 years." Yeah, okay, you’re the king of negotiations…That’s a great deal, huh pal? Season tickets for 10 years! Sure, you’d have him sign that contract too, wouldn’t you? And cows might fly over the moon too! Isn’t it funny how the guy who is supposed to challenge Barry’s new all-time record looks worse than he does!
