Did anyone else hear that the guy who cought barry bonds number 756 home run ball has to pay taxes on it but cant afford it so he has to sell it. What do you guys or girls think about that? Me personally i think he shouldnt have to pay.

Why does he have to pay tax's on a baseball.. how much could tax's actually be on a $10 baseball!

[yfzkyle]

Im not sure why i read it in the sports section of the news paper today. They estimated the ball being worth $500,000 and they said he has to pay 10%.

In the end, he gets paid for going to a ball game while he was on layover for a flight to Hawaii . I think he will end up getting 600k+ close to 400 after taxes, my deepest sympathy goes out to him.

[EY3BA11]

I thought the understanding was you dont get taxed on it until you decide you want to sell it. As of right now its a baseball with a some hype behind it. I would give them the tax's on the MSRP of the ball.. but i wouldnt give them no 50k because some on steroids knocked it over a fence.

Ken's correct Nick. The "MAN" will tax him on what the ball is worth(anywhere from 500 to 750k.
