City of Palms Park, [spring training] home of the Red Sox, is asking for $800,000 to add what one official calls "pizzazz to the facility."
Living in NYC, we know that 800K doesn’t go nearly as far as it does down in Florida. What gets you "pizzazz" in the Sunshine State might get you a powder room in West Chelsea. But being designers, we had some ideas about just what might be waiting in the wings for the lucky patrons of CoPP:
- Sushi bars behind both Sox’ dugout and bullpen (duh!)
- State-of-the-art dunk tank with fully animatronic likenesses of Derek Jeter and Murray Chass
- New modern concession stand featuring "JD Drew"-brand shin, ankle, forearm, elbow, mouth, and wrist guards.
- "Manny being
MannyNanny" Day Care Center franchise behind left field bleachers (thanks to commenter Quo for the perfect name change!) - ADA-compliant revolving door to Red Sox’ bullpen
Get those blueprints ready!
Maybe the day care center could be “Manny being Nanny” instead?
YES! I haven’t posted in ages, but Quo’s quip on top of SF’s gag had me rolling. Way to go, Quo.
“Manny being Nanny”=hilarious
SF, that’s a low blow equating Chass to our beloved Jeter. Is A-Rod too easy a target?
Manny being Nanny would have been much better – no surprise I didn’t think of it!
$800,000 worth of pizzas? did the sox sign david wells?
More seriously, I imagine they plan to increase the press areas for the expected hordes of Japanese reporters.
David Beckham is going to take his over-the-hill butt to play for the LA MLS team.
Anyone think this is going to do anyting for the sport in the US, or just make a joke out of if as the Senior Circut for pro soccer?
“$800,000 worth of pizzas? did the sox sign david wells?”
No, but from the looks of Big Papi, I would say he knows a thing or 50 about pies…
(sorry, couldn’t let that Jeets dig go )
That was me.

The Mayor’s Cup. A complete name rip-off of the esteemed cross country race held at Franklin Park every year that showcases the best and brightest young runners in the world.
