Ah, now I understand! The scoreboard does resemble the one in San Francisco. But the one at PNC Park is in a much nicer city!

Just in case you wanted to know some useless trivia, the Giants' new ballpark opened in 2000 as PacBell Park. Its name changed to SBC Park when Pacific Bell merged with SBC Communications. It was again renamed when AT&T bought SBC, so it's now known as AT&T Park. For a comparatively young venue, the Giants' home has really been through the alphabet.

But you're right: There are numerous sports venues that are named by acronym-loving corporatations, including stadia in Baltimore, Boston, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, San Antonio, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Nashville and Raleigh.

Even the new Yankee Stadium will be plastered with various corporate logos. The current home of the Yankees has always carried the nickname "The House that Ruth Built". The current home of the Giants should be known as "The House the Bonds Built", but I don't mean Barry Bonds. I mean Municipal Bonds.

Ah, that's right. Back in the "old Days" I could tell you the name of very park, stadium and arena every baseball, football and basketball team played in. Now it's an alphabet soup of title sponsors. Just as long as you aren't a San Fran Giants fan. I would have had to bombard you with tons of "hate mail."
Welcome to Hamilton County Today.

Judging from your avatar, I can only hope you aren't a Giants fan.

Employment Listing Services

Have you inspected an employment listing website that left you totally unfulfilled? I found immediately that there are employment websites that are totally lacking. A leading flaw that I have seen on multiple sites is that they include so many outdated posts that it makes it trying to direct your search. I don’t want to [...]

Listia: What if Craigslist and Ebay had a baby together?

If Craigslist and Ebay had a bastard child, it would probably look something like Listia.com.  The site allows you to auction off your old junk for “free” and then use the points others bid on your items to buy their “junk” in return.  As one man’s junk is another man’s treasure, it’s easy to come [...]
