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.

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.
