“The Jake” to be renammed “Progressive Field”

*sighs* It seems that even Jacob’s Field cannot escape the dirty hands of corporate America. Is anything sacred in this country? Later today, an announcement is expected to be made that Jacob’s Field is going to be renamed "Progressive Field" after the Progressive Insurance company (source, Plain Dealer). The naming rights to The Jake were up this year and owners pounced on the chance to make more money. It seems to be the case with everything in professional sports anymore. And if this doesn’t equate to the Tribe resigned Sabathia, I’m gonna be upset. Because it will always be Jacob’s Field in my heart and the hearts of all Cleveland fans. Just as the Q will always be the Gund when it comes to all Cavs fans out there. Everything has to have corporate money now.

I don’t care who buys the naming rights, it will ALWAYS be “The Jake” to me.
