Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Results of my Citifield Survey

A few weeks ago I posted a survey about possibly renaming Citifield. I only got 20 answers, so here are the results:

Keep the name as Citifield - 1
Jackie Robinson Stadium - 1
Gil Hodges Stadium - 2
Shea Stadium - 5
Others - 10
Other responses included:
Bailout Field
New Shea Stadium
Metropolitan Stadium
Woody Guthrie Field

The possibility of renaming the new stadium has been out of the news for at least a week. When a corporation is bought and name is changed the stadium must be renamed. In Arizona Bank One Ballpark became Chase Field. Who knows what may happen to Citibank in the years to come? I remember 30 or 40 years ago it was known as First National City Bank.
