The 10 Best Names for Safeco Field's Strip Joint
With a brand new strip joint soon to open within an infield single of Safeco Field, it's important that Roger Forbes opt for a name other than Deja Vu in a good faith effort to blend into the ballpark district. There's precedent for this sort of creative nomenclature: Forbes could have called his north downtown pole emporium Deja Vu, but named it Little Darlings instead.![]()
Hence, we took it upon ourselves to offer Forbes our list of the Top 10 names he should consider for Safeco's sexiest neighbor-to-be (h/t to Joel Connelly and the Public Exposure crew for the post-show brainstorm):
10. Caught Looking
9. The Free Swinger
8. Bone's Zone
7. The Hot Corner
6. Jerk One Out of the Park
5. Randy's Johnson
4. The Grand Salami
3. The Big Unit
2. The Foul Pole
1. Faces on Balls

My vote goes to Faces on Balls. (ha!) Although I like the Free Swinger, as well.

My favorite is actually The Fungo, which I didn't include on because only baseball geeks know what a fungo is (a huge wooden bat used only in practice).

Change alert: I just replaced The Backup Catcher and Good Wood with Jerk One Out of the Park and the Grand Salami. Hence, the Backup Catcher and Good Wood join the Fungo, Ballgirls, Batboys, and The Pickle on the honorable mention list.

Someone on KJR suggested the "Get it here Cafe."

Faces on Balls handsdown is the best. Caught Looking may be nice for non baseball fans. DoublePlays may work but another with Balls in it is a winner.
