An Obvious Name for the Big A

I initially refused to call Edison Field anything but “the Big A,” but eventually I gave in. I never thought I’d be disappointed with the renaming of the stadium to a non-corporate name.

After the passing of Gene Autry, I had hoped that eventually there would be an Autry Field. As a lifelong fan of the Angels, I’ve always associated the heart of the Angels with the Cowboy.

I believe there could not be a more fitting tribute to the father of the Angels than to name the stadium in his honor. It’s not too late to change your mind, Mr Moreno.

Why didn’t they rename the Angels’ baseball park Gene Autry Field? His enthusiasm and support of the team for more than three decades when the team was not always successful is appreciated by Angel fans.
