GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
It was a quietly weird day for the Hall of Fame. After a long-standing consensus that Barry Bonds' No. 756 ball would end up in Cooperstown with its crowdsourced asterisk -- courtesy of Marc Ecko, of course -- they suddenly reversed their stance. Now, because the ball was on loan and was not an unconditional donation, the Hall didn't want it. Picky, picky. Apparently, Ecko hedged on his loan-only stance, and the Hall relented. The No. 756 ball, asterisk and all, will live forevermore in Cooperstown. The donation-versus-loan wasn't the real reason they hedged, though, at least not according to Ecko:
''Based on the Hall of Fame's previous statements that they would both accept and display the ball, the only open issue we were talking about was the Hall's recent indication of discomfort in displaying it and addressing the controversy surrounding the record.''Ah, yes, hand-wringing in Cooperstown. It's as much a part of summer as sweatrash and annoying tourists.
