I think the central

Evey other team in the league...

… has gone to some kind of canned rock music. All 29 of them.

But wait, I thought those “original” franchises were supposed to be the traditionalists who loathe change?

I got most of the band icon thingies — at least the ones that represent bands from my era — but I’m fuzzy on the Pink Floyd one… I got the “pink” park, but if that’s supposed to be Floyd The Barber, I don’t see it…
