It looks like the Chicago Tribune is trying to raise some cash to pump into the fledgling Cubs. As such, it is looking for a corporate sponsor to name Wrigley Field. Forget that Wrigley Field is already named after a business, and forget that the Trib owns the team. The more corporate names the better, I suppose.
Back when the Phillies were building their new stadium there was a lot of talk of naming it Ashburn Field. Fans liked that. The thing is, it would bring no cash. Remember all the cash Enron brought the Astros?
I like the way Baltimore has handled this: Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It is elegant. And their stadium is still the finest I have seen a game in.
Anyhow, I ran through some ideas I thought might look good above “Home of the Chicago Cubs”. (more…)
Once upon a time, I visited Bermuda regularly. Ah, young love. Anyhow, I saw many cricket matches while on the island. Cup Match is a national holiday and well worth the visit. If you can remain sober, fine curried mussel pie is available!
Anyhow, cricket always seemed like a “refined” baseball. The English have a way with things, it seems. But for all the cricket matches I saw, I never saw this. Bravo!
At trial, the government’s evidence will show that Bonds received steroids from Anderson in the period before the November 2001 positive drug test, and that evidence raises the inference that Anderson gave Bonds the steroids that caused him to test positive in November 2001,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello wrote in a legal filing, according to Reuters.
While it has long been thought to be the case, it is certainly becoming more certain that Bonds took steroids. He did exactly what I wanted Clemens to do: testify under oath that he was clean. The problem with Bonds is apparently, he wasn’t. The federal government is now prosecuting him for perjury.
I’ll await the trial, but it’s difficult for me to see how he can get out of this.
For me, this will taint his entire career. This is Pete Rose territory.
A typo in court papers regarding Barry Bonds filed late Thursday by federal prosecutors touched off a brief tempest over the mistaken belief that he failed a drug test in November 2001, one month after breaking the home run record.
In fact, the government meant to reference a previously reported November 2000 failed drug test, U.S. attorney spokesman Josh Eaton said. That drug test was included in the indictment unsealed last year, when prosecutors said the test was for a player they called “Barry B.”
