Now, I may be a bit biased here (always liked Rosenblatt) but I feel like Mike Fahey street should be named Johnny Rosenblatt Street. While Fahey did keep it in Omaha for the next 30(ish?) years, I feel like without Rosenblatt we wouldn't have had it. Maybe rename Cass street or one of them closer to the new ballpark? I feel like Johnny should get a bit more credit than those two plaques inside the stadium.
(Sorry if this sounded like an unorganized mess, idea popped into my head during a late-night work shift and I wanted to post it before I forgot about it.)

Not sure it would be appropriate there. I'd do it at it's true location.

They would either have to bump Bob Gibson or Bert Murphy around the zoo...
