Terry May was chewing the fat with Virginia Blalock about
name's of stadiums on 15 Oct 96 20:34:
JM>> Also The new Braves stadium is going to be called Turner Stadium or
JM>> something like that. Some people want it to be named after Hank
JM>> Aaron. What are some opinons about that.
VB> Money is number one. The one who gives the money gets the name it
VB> appears these days.
TM> Or, a more optimistic way of looking at it, the one person who saved
TM> MLB in that city and brought them the city's first ever championship
TM> in a major sport. (They were on the verge of packing their bags for
TM> another city when Ted bought the team.)
Naming it after Ted is also a good idea and I have no trouble with
it. But personally, I would be more sentimental I guess and name it
after Aaron.
... George Orwell was an optimist.
