Swing Off Revisited

I’ve continued to think about the “swing-off” contest that MLB used for the first time Tuesday night to provide a winner for the game. As I mentioned previously, I don’t really have a problem with it, but they have to come up with a new name for the contest. Since money is the driving force in so many decisions in MLB (ballpark names,uniform patches, etc…) they could even sell naming rights to the highest bidder. Here are my suggestions for a new name, along with potential sponsors.

Major League Baseball representatives have never asked my opinion on anything, but that has never stopped me from expressing it!

That’s one man’s opinion - what’s yours?
