Twitterer @bjr54 needs your help. He has an Omar Minaya autographed baseball and he wants to know what to do with it. He, like most of us, doesn’t have the money to blast it into space, which was my first suggestion. (Full disclosure: This is my first suggestion whenever anyone asks me for advice on anything. “My sandwich is a little dry, what should I do?” Blast it into space. “My car is making a weird rattling noise near the left front wheel-well, any idea what it could be?” No. Blast it into space. “I’m thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend, but I can’t find the words.” You don’t need to; blast him into space.)

Anyway, he’s considering selling it on ebay or burning it, but I figure we can put our heads together and come up with something. If we have enough ideas I’ll run a poll sometime next week. For what it’s worth, a bunch of Omar Minaya autographed balls are selling on ebay and it doesn’t seem like they’re exactly inspiring bidding wars.

Me, I’d probably just use the thing. I mean, no use burning a good baseball, right? Of course, the whole autograph thing has always been weird to me.

Any better ideas?
