Watching B10 Network and Ohio State field is actually named, in HUGE letters behind home plate
"Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium.

Nick Swisher? WTF. Must've been an integral part of that Ohio State Baseball Dynasty in the late 90's

Yeah but self-proclaimed "The Ohio State?" Jack Nicklaus, Archie Grffin, and Nick Swisher? That is embarrassing

everyone wants something they can be proud of, even if the "honoree" bought their name onto it

I am sure Nick Swisher donated a lot of money. What's so funny about it?

Alex Rodriguez gave a bunch of money to build that park. I'm sure Swisher did the same.

Are you kidding me? Don't care who payed for it. Letters 4 ft tall behind the plate so cameras can't miss it.

Says a lot about Big 10 baseball I guess. Nick should've donated a couple of lockers if he needed validation that badly. His fricking Ego or OSU greed is an embarrassment to such a "venerable institution."

Swisher gave Ohio State half a million dollars to install a new turf field, and they named the field after him.

Earlier poster pointed out- Alex Rodriguez at Miami is the best example of this non-issue.

I can't grasp why you are so upset about this.

People get shite named after them all the time for donating a lot of money. Especially if their donation is directly tied to the completion of a particular project. Like Swisher's to Ohio St's field.
