Talks between the Hall of Fame and fashion designer Marc Ecko have reportedly broken down and the ball Barry Bonds crushed for his record-breaking 756th won't end up in Cooperstown, according to The Associated Press.

"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," the Hall said in a statement.

"Should the owner choose to unconditionally donate the ball to the museum at a future date, we would be delighted and of course, accept his offer," it said.
