Record HR Ball Not Going To The HOF

Marc Ecko, purchased Barry Bonds' 756th homerun ball and held a contest asking the public what he should do with the ball. The results from the poll had the ball being branded and sent to the Hall Of Fame. But now the MLB Hall Of Fame has stated, "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." Not sure why Ecko would go back on his committment to unconditionally donate the baseball, especially if it is donated with the branded asterisk... I think everyone in the future will know fully well how tainted that record is.
