Take Me Out To SBC Park?

Granted at one level it is just trading one corporate name for another, but I can’t get used to the fact that the San Francisco Giants’ ballfield will now be called SBC Park. Pac Bell Park has a much better ring to it, no pun intended, given the park’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The unsurprising story to the name change is that the Pacific Bell phone company got bought out a couple of years ago by SBC, a phone company whose initials formerly stood for something but now don’t.

Oh well. SBC still has a reputation for lousy DSL service, ballpark sponsorship notwithstanding.

    This is an extensive gallery of stereo images combined into a virtual tour. No extra devices necessary!

    I have a large collection of virtual tour covering most of San Francisco.

    I would very appreciate your opinion as a Bay Area native and a baseball fun.
