Rename Oriole Park? Please don’t go there. | STAFF COMMENTARY

Orioles' new owner should not even consider selling naming rights to his beloved ballpark.

Just when new Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein was batting 1,000, he struck out (“The Orioles have operated as a small-market team. Will that change under new owner David Rubenstein?” May 30). Everything was going great, and then the new guy mentioned naming rights!

Well here’s a newsflash for the O’s latest owner: That iconic ballpark at Camden and Eutaw streets has a name, a fine name that folks fought for back in the day.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is good enough, certainly long enough and now old enough to be a tradition. In the apt words of the Beatles, let it be!
