Jetbluepark.com lands at ... Yankees' site

Type in the URL jetbluepark.com and you'll be redirected to the web site of the New York Yankees.

The Fort Myers News-Press reports that a local resident purchased the internet domain name after hearing that JetBlue had purchased naming rights to the Red Sox' new spring training ballpark.

Eric Engelman told the News-Press he bought the domain for $8 on godaddy.com, and linked the site to the Yankees' page to be funny. Engelman said he is a Cubs fan.

As of this morning, the site still goes to the Yankees' page, but Red Sox chief operating officer Sam Kennedy said he's interested in changing that.

�Have him call me,� Kennedy told the News-Press. �We can make a deal. Or maybe we can make a deal.�

Here's another good reason to check out the Fort Myers News-Press web site. Their online producers have created an excellent in-depth interactive graphic about JetBlue Park that is almost as good as being there. Click this link. Trust me, it does not go to a detailed look at Yankee Stadium.
