More Info at:
While we wholeheartedly support the sponsorship and financial commitment SBC/AT&T has provided to the San Francisco Giants, we believe the time has come to honor one of the most beloved ball players of all time whose name has been synonymous with the San Francisco Giants franchise for nearly half a century.
We propose re-branding SBC Park as Willie Mays Field at AT&T Park effective immediately.
This new name will continually remind the rest of the world of our rich baseball heritage and honor possibly the greatest player in baseball history. At the same time, the new name provides stability and class for one of the most beautiful ball parks in the nation and allows SBC/AT&T to continue their sponsorship while increasing their visibility. For this reason we believe this is a win-win situation for the San Francisco Giants, Major League Baseball, its fans, and the new combined SBC/AT&T Company.

- Really Dumb Idea. Bad timing too, since there is a court battle going on in Orange County over a similar name change.

- I grew up in New York watching Willie Mays grow to become the greatest, most exciting ballplayer of all time. He is owed the honor of having the ballpark, if not the Golden Gate Bridge, named for him.

- Pac Bell, SBC, and now AT&T. Seems Giants fans could have petitioned the SBC name change..but didn't do it. Now that it will be named after a well-known National Company..instead of a West Coast Company..there is a big fuss over this. MMmm..interesting.

- Please, honor the greatest baseball player ever rather than using the Park as a (frequently changed) corporate billboard .

- The Giants have always honored the Giant's players and insprired the fans through these actions. With the stadium name changing once again to the embarassment of the team and fans alike, it's necessary to take action to restore some integrity to the stadium's name and honor the greatest Giant in one action.

- With last year's story about Mays' hometown and its issues with racism, the timing is really perfect for America's most progressive city to step forward and honor a great man and a hero to the African-American community.
