If You Were Going To Troll The White Sox's Ballpark Name Change, The Cubs & Bears Beat You To It

(CBS) The White Sox announced Wednesday afternoon that U.S. Cellular Field will be renamed Guaranteed Rate Field, effective Nov. 1, following a new 13-year naming rights deal with the national mortgage lender.

You may have funny jokes on the tip of your tongue, but just know this: The Cubs and Bears, via Twitter, already beat you to the punch by trolling the White Sox

The Cubs did so following a homer by rookie Willson Contreras in an afternoon game against the Padres.

The Bears did so by referencing their iconic home.

It would follow that it's the Blackhawks' turn to join in this fun. But remember: Don't hold your breath for like-owned Reinsdorf Bulls to do so.
