Just another reason why corporate-named stadiums should be criminal: With news that insurance giant Liberty Mutual will acquire Safeco Insurance, the M’s may no longer have their Safeco Mojo. Says Mariner spokesperson Rebecca Hale: "That's a question that needs to be sorted out at some point . . .” Yeah. Probably.

Oh man, I'm going to be so confused if they change the name- that's where my favorite baseball memories were made, and I'm just going to make a fool of myself now if I try to talk about them... oh well.

only 13 major league ball parks have names that arent attached to a company name. being from washington, i know i've seen the now verizon center's name changed many times, from mci to mci worldcom to verizon. i miss names like three rivers stadium, shea stadium will become citi field when the new park opens in 2009, comisky park was gone in the early 90s, the astrodome closed in 99. i understand the need for money to pay for these colossal new parks, but if fenway park one day wasnt called fenway park, or if yankee stadium wasnt called yankee stadium, i feel like we'd lose a lot of the classic baseball community that made baseball america's past time, not america's biggest corporate advertising league.

Liberty Mutual Mojo! Yah, right, they'll have to come up with something else. Hope it doesn't happen.
