BOSTON (AP) -- The arena is in downtown Boston, the heart of Red Sox Nation. There couldn't be a bigger insult than to name it after the captain of the hated New York Yankees.
But that's just what Manhattan lawyer Kerry Konrad aims to do next Tuesday after his $2,325 bid won an eBay auction giving him the one-day naming rights to the FleetCenter.
Konrad's proposed name: the Derek Jeter Center, after the Yankee shortstop.
His winning bid threw the FleetCenter brass into a dilemma.
"I told him, 'I don't think we can approve that name,'" arena spokesman Jim Delaney said.
