And the asterisk wins. It's being donated to the hall, and the hall has graciously accepted it, asterisk and everything.

"We're grateful to Marc for donating this baseball, which represents one of the game's most historic records. Baseball belongs to the fans -- it always has and always will. The asterisk represents the voice of the fans at this moment in time. The level of interest reflects a strong bond between baseball and American culture. Our responsibility as a history museum is to present every story in proper context, and this ball allows us to do that."

I applaud the hall for this, concerning themselves with the context as opposed to trying to preserve the image of the game.
