What to call The Wall
When a 30-foot-high wall is constructed in straightaway center at Cinergy Field, it's only a matter of time before Reds fans will adopt a nickname for Cincinnati's version of Fenway Park's Green Monster. Here are our early candidates. Tell us your favorite at redspoll@enquirer.com. Include your name and hometown/neighborhood.
Green Monster Jr.: We're big on Juniors in this town.
Green Mile: It's a big wall; it was a long movie.
Green Giant: Ho-ho-ho, home run!
Mr. Green Jeans: Not even Captain Kangaroo could bounce over this thing.
The Great Wall: A precursor to Great American Ball Park.
Wall-y Szczerbiak: Miami has the same small-market mentality as the Reds.
Ronald Reagan Cross-County Wall: Mr. Lindner, tear down that wall!
Monster Mash: That's what it will take to hit one over.
Pink Floyd's The Wall: If you don't take B.P., you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't take B.P.?
Wall-Mart: You have to love the bargain-basement Reds.
Wall-Green's: Hit a home run, win some shampoo.
The Wall of Shame: Watch homer totals plummet.
The Wailing Wall: It won't be long before someone's complaining about it.
The Whaling Wall: It takes a whale of a shot to clear this baby.
The Olive Creature: To keep the Red Sox from suing over copyright infringement.
The Monolith: It's 2001. A huge wall appears. Coincidence?
The Red Monster: Paint it and keep it ad free.
The Flood Wall: Time to play up the river theme.
Flying Wall-enda: When a ball bounces off the top, it'll make playing center field a circus act.
