SkyDome renamed

[Dynasty]

Rogers Communications, which owns the Toronto Blue Jays, has renamed the SkyDome. Presumably, it's part of a very sophisticated marketing program designed to increase profits, market share, or some other stuff.

The new name: Rogers Centre

I haven't decided whether this is worse than Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim. It's close.

It's worth going to court just to prevent that spelling of Center.

Just the French influence in Oh, Canada. And don't miss the irony that you use the borrowed French for your location.

I have no problem with French influence. And because it's in Toronto, I concede a fair amount of legitimacy. But that spelling too frequently reflects empty pretentiousness, like in stores named Earl's Live Bait Centre.

True dat. Perhaps Boston could follow suit and rename Fenway:

Ye Olde Ballpark

Is it French influence? It's spelled that way in Blighty too.

Rogers is the biggest Telecom company around here, so it makes sense. Think AT&T Centre.

Regardless, the team sucks, the stadium is a technological wonder of a dump, and they'll be lucky to pull in 10,000 a game, me and my dad included.

Where oh where is Kelly Gruber?

I was thinking something more like Fenway Base-Ball Theatre.

None of this ever would have happened if Cito Gaston had just played Mussina in the '93 All-Star Game.
