FORT MYERS, Fla., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A Florida man said he bought the domain name jetbluepark.com for $8 when he heard about the new Boston Red Sox training facility and linked it to the Yankees.

Eric Engelman, 30, of Fort Myers said he bought the domain using his wife's godaddy.com account when he heard about JetBlue winning the naming rights for the Fort Myers facility, which has now been dubbed JetBlue Park at Fenway South, last March and he recently decided to link the page to the New York Yankees home page as a joke, the Fort Myers News-Press reported Wednesday.

Engelman, who described himself as a Chicago Cubs fan, said he has no hate for the Red Sox or love for the Yankees but he thought the domain name prank would make a funny joke.

Sam Kennedy, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Boston Red Sox, said Tuesday he would like to talk to Engelman about the domain.

"We can make a deal. Or maybe we can make a deal."
