Well, let's pursue this ad absurdum. The home town baseball team decides to give a baseball signed by Joe Schmoe to every visitor to the ball park (or every tenth, or every hundredth, or ...) during the game in which Joe Schmoe hits his famous hit. Is there income tax on this gift payable by the recipient? It is a famous ball, especially, if the club gives out only a few.

Those aren't gifts. They're given for business purposes, not out of disinterested generosity. So it has nothing to do with Bill's point. Stu
Well, I guess I was totally wrong then. Having Barry Bonds play in that ball park at that time was not an extra attraction.

At least, not according to his ex-wife.
