how can it be justified that he has to pay taxes on a ball if he doesn't sell it? That's like saying everyone who owns signed memorabilia must pay extra in taxes because it might go up in value one day if they sell it.

If they really want to serve justice, they better make examples of McGuire, Sosa, Canseco, Caminiti, etc. too if it means anything, otherwise it's just anti-Bonds bullshit.[/quote:ffc0b]
