300 Global is now 900 Global?
« on: June 15, 2007, 07:32:28 AM »
I just went to their website (http://www.300global.com) today and noticed their name has now changed to 900 Global.  The new address (http://www.900global.com) routes to the same page.  I wonder why the name change?

newguy, can we have more details please?

They hired Robert Mushtare to be their first staffer and thought the name change was appropriate.  

(I heard it from my brother's neighbor's daughter's boyfriend's uncle who lives across the street from Phil, so I know for a fact this is the reason for the name change)

I hope that Ebonite wasn't the reason.  It's a long shot, but maybe they didn't like the fact of '300' being in the new name, since they just acquired Columbia 300.  I know it's a Hail Mary, but until Phil gives us the details, that's the only explanation I can think of.

There were some reasons why. I am sure Phil and Eric will fill everyone in on it. This was in the works for a while and they just released it today.  Still same company though.  Just had to change name.  The new ball will be out very soon.

I always got it confused with this: http://www.global300.com/

Funny thing is that about a week ago I was wondering when more bowling companies would start dropping the 300 and going to 900 - you know with all the 900 series being bowled the past few years.

If that is true,(which I hope it isn't)I am more determined than ever to avoid Ebodynotracolumboham300.

Let's just say that since ebonite bought out Track, Dyno, Columbia they think they own the whole bowling business.

Emailed Eric today and he said they are really busy right now from Bowl Expo.  It went really good for them.

I agree,so here goes.
I think the Yankees need to move Jeter to 3rd to protect A-Rod and bat Abreu 6th or 7th. Is that what you ment.

I think the Yankees need to add about another 20 mil to the payroll.  That should just about buy them another ring.    No he didn't.... Oh yes he did!
