1. The Box is still The Box, right? It's just the field that was renamed, correct?

    If so, what was it called before?

    Thanks.
  2. The field was called nothing. "Hey look at the pretty grass!"

  3. I think it's silly. Skip already has a road named after him on campus. Next they will name the Smoke Laval pitcher's mound . . .

  4. How about the Joe Dean campus thrift store?
  5. I agree. I mean skip was great but they've damn near named the university after him. At some point we should probably have done enough.
  6. I think naming the field for him is more fitting than a street, anyway. Why they didn't do that in the first place is beyond me.
  7. I think it's somewhat common in baseball to have "so and so" field at "such and such" stadium.

    And the only thing we'd ever name after Smoke would be the shitters.

  8. Along side the Bobby Jindal urinals. :eek:
  9. It was the street than ran by old Alex Box, where Skip won his championships.
  10. I get that, but it still seems like the field is more fitting.
