Alexander Gone, Safeco Field Next?

Sports fans around the city are saying goodbye to Shaun Alexander. The former NFL MVP was released by the Seahawks following eight seasons.

Now, we may be saying good-bye to Safeco Field.

Liberty Mutual’s purchase of Safeco might mean a new name for the city’s baseball stadium.

San Francisco’s baseball stadium opened up a few months after Safeco, and was originally named Pac Bell for the phone company Pacific Bell, a few years late its name was changed to SBC Park, after Pacific Bell’s parent company. When SBC merged with AT&T it became AT&T Park.

The most famous stadium to be reamed was Houston baseball stadium. The current Minute Maid (delicious) Park was originally named Enron (evil) Field.

It's a corporate world, folks.

Of course keep in mind that we have no idea how mergers, or any of that businessy stuff works--so who the hell knows?
