What's In a Name?

Does it really matter how you label it, as long as you call it something? I started my annual pilgrimage to the couch, in front of the TV, to pay homage to the final season of CWS at the 'Blatt'. Yes the new stadium is probably going to be spectacular, and the CWS will thrive in Omaha for quite some time, but it's going to be played at the TD Ameritrade Park. Yes, the city whored itself out to big business, just so we could get a new stadium, and keep another big business in Omaha. Since the name, 'Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium', is going by the wayside with the stadium itself, the CWS is losing a certain ambience about it. It's no longer directly connected to Omaha's past, and is changing the identity of the CWS. College baseball has morphed into big business, just like every other sport that becomes popular. What happens if TD Amertrade goes belly up, or gets bought by Morgan Stanley? The name changes. Johnny Rosenblatt is a permanent name in Omaha history, it's not going anywhere. Plus, he was an actual person whom people had a personal connection to. He could offer a handshake, or better yet, a hug. I don't think I would get the same warm fuzzies receiving a hug from TD Ameritrade. Is TD Ameritrade even capable of hugging? Fortunately, I have memories of a Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, where families would come to share in America's greatest pastime, and share those magical moments with perennial fans from LSU, or to cheer on our home teams, Creighton and Nebraska, when they entered the CWS for the first time. I'm glad their experiences came at the 'Blatt', where the CWS originated, rather than TD Amertrade Park. I guess all good things run their course in life. Time to stop having fun, and get down to business.
