Harry Caray's restaurant buys the Bartman ball: for $106K, and intends to destroy it as a "catharsis" for the fans.
AHAHAHAHAHAAA. (Sorry, Cubbie fans)

I was thinking the same thing. I don't understand why people are willing to pay so much money for a damn ball.

I actually own an anti-Cubs magic rock. So long as I own this rock, the Cubs will never win. I KID YOU NOT. I've had it all my life, and have the Cubs won in that span!? NO!! It can be yours for a low, LOW price of $99,999.99!! DON'T DELAY NOW.

The ball cost more than the Yankees paid for Babe Ruth.

Not in inflation adjusted dollars, Vito! But LOL anyway. And seeing the national publicity they're getting, I'm not so sure this is a complete waste of money.

People don't eat tonight and some idiots pay $106,000 to destroy a baseball that didn't change the outcome of a game. Fuck, that's twisted.

sounds like a huge waste of 106 thousand dollars.
