Before the Braves moved to the ’burbs, Marlins Park served as the go-to example of shady local political dealings to use public funds to build a new ballpark for the supremely rich. On a related note, Jeff Loria and David Samson were involved in the process.

Now the club is, at least ...

I didn’t sense a lot of consensus on the name, though I’d peg Tiger Stadium as the favorite going into the vote. The absence of consensus has resulted in a full plate of offerings, including the current moniker.

If you prefer Tiger, choose the letter and the number.

A) Comerica park
B) Grand ...

Comerica Park is named after a bank. I guessed it was an insurance company. Not much difference, I suppose. Tiger Stadium was once called Briggs. That was named after a former owner of the club. Before that it was Navin Field, named after the protagonist in The Jerk (that may not be 100 percent ...

Just four choices this week. If it goes as expected, and Busch is the clear winner, we’ll close voting early.

1) Busch Stadium
2) Gateway Field
3) Musial Grounds
4) Sportsman’s Park

Up next: The Cards’ opponent in the first World Series played in this ballpark, the Tigers. ...MORE

Choose whatever appendage you want, Field, Park, Stadium, Grounds, something other or the suggestion by villageidiom, who ...

We’ve got four choices for the team that will be named later (in all likelihood).

It could come down to whether the folks who think the Big A is a nickname, not a name, dammit, can rally around a single contender.

Choose 1:

A) Anaheim Stadium
B) Angels Stadium
C) The Big A
D) Gene Autry ...

Sticking to a name has never been a strong suit for the franchise. Born the Los Angeles Angels, that soon gave way to the California Angels, the Anaheim Angels, the tonguesore of the recent past and even their new name, whatever the hell that is.* Similarly, the ballpark has gone from Anaheim ...

It’s time for the Mets vote.

Here are your choices.

1) Citi Field
2) City
  If this is your selection, choose between Field or Park
3) Gotham Grounds
4) Metropolitan Stadium
5) Willets Point.

Voting will run through this time next Monday, at which point the team with a name Al Michaels ...
