October 10, 1996 – Michael Agganis moves the Akron-Canton Indians to Akron’s $32 million ballpark. He wants them named the Akron Blast, to honor the city’s contribution to the space industry - the most prominent was of astronaut Judy Resnick, who died in the Challenger shuttle. Even worse? Agganis wants a cat mascot Kaboom. Finally, a citywide contest offers the Aeros and a mascot named Orbit.
