Cubs fan buys domain name before Red Sox

Found February 22, 2012 on The Victory Formation: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Theo Epstein
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Maybe Cubs fans are learning from Theo Epstein.

The Boston Red Sox are debuting their new Spring Training facility this year in Fort Meyers, JetBlue Park at Fenway South. For some reason, the Red Sox didn’t think of grabbing the most logical domain name for their new stadium. However, a Cubs fan did.

Fort Myers resident Eric Engelman, purchased the domain jetbluepark.com for $8 from GoDaddy.com. What did he do with the site url? He redirected it to Yankees.com. The Red Sox obviously don’t want this to continue.

“It does?” said Sam Kennedy, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Boston Red Sox, when told Tuesday afternoon. Kennedy then watched as Red Sox senior adviser Charlie Steinberg typed jetbluepark.com onto his phone. “We’re going to have to look into that.”

Absolute brilliance by this guy. The Sox will have no choice to pay this guy a boatload of cash to get this domain name from Engelman.
