Chicago Escorts: Cincinnati’s Crosley Field Should Have Been Called Hudepohl Park

Look, I understand that if a big-time company comes into your office with an Armani suit and a leather briefcase with a diamond latch on it, you are going to listen to what they say. Especially if you know that they are willing to part with about $50M—that is $50,000,000. A-Rod would actually have to play two years to make that kind of money.
That kind of money for an eight- or nine-year lease is hard to turn down, I understand.
Just think if Crosley Field or Forbes Field were called something else in the ‘60s. Maybe Crosley Field would have been Hudepohl Park. The Pirates could have played in Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company Stadium.
This name “pimping” isn’t forever either—they are temporary leases. Remember when AT&T was Pacific Bell Park, home of the San Francisco Giants? Get it all straight in your mind and then everyone changes to something else.
