High tech memorabilia

Not sure this is an article as much as it seems to be a press release, and a poorly written one at that. The last graph, however, strikes me as quiet funny.

Here's how it works: When a fan catches a home run ball, a security guard will link up with the fan and place a unique hologram on the ball. This information will be wirelessly up-loaded to MLB's IBM DB2 9 data server. This way, if the fan decides to sell the ball to a retailer, potential buyers can verify its authenticity immediately online.

Like the guy who catches Barry Bonds' 715th home run is going to stop and get a hologram on his ball when there are 200 lunatics trying to mug him for possession of the spheroid. Ha!
