SF Chronicle: Bonds’ Ecko: ‘stupid’

Barry Bonds does not think much of Marc Ecko, the clothes designer who bought his 756th home run ball for a shade more than $750,000 and is asking people on the Internet how to dispose of it.

“He’s stupid. He’s an idiot,” Bonds said. “He spent $750,000 on the ball and that’s what he’s doing with it? What he’s doing is stupid.”

Manager Bruce Bochy said Bonds might undergo an MRI exam if the injury does not improve before the Giants return home Thursday. There is some urgency even if the team is buried in the National League West basement.

The Giants’ seven remaining home games, against Cincinnati and San Diego, could mark Bonds’ final chance to play before the fans who have cheered him for 15 seasons. Bonds has said he wants to return but still has no clue if he will be invited back.

“Ask Peter Magowan,” he said. “He hasn’t told me anything. I don’t know why you keep asking me. I don’t own the team.”
