Discussions between the Baseball Hall of Fame and the owner of the baseball hit by Barry Bonds for his 756th career home run have unfortunately reached an impasse. The owner’s previous commitment to unconditionally donate the baseball has changed to a loan. As a result, the Hall of Fame will not be able to accept the baseball.
Though the Museum has accepted loans when no other artifacts were available to tell a story, in this case, we already have several pieces in our collection that have been unconditionally donated by Barry Bonds and others to reflect the home run record chase. Should the owner choose to unconditionally donate the ball to the Museum at a future date, we would be delighted and of course accept his offer.”
