Insert old "Todd's balls" joke here: Todd McFarlane's name pops up again -- and this time it has nothing to do with a lawsuit. No, this time it's in connection (again) with Mark McGwire's 70th homerun ball, which McFarlane bought in February 1999. MSNBC.com names it among the Top Five all-time pieces of baseball memorabilia.

That's probably the only time you'll see sports-related news here, so don't get used to it.
