Twitter Poll: What to call the outfield wall in LF?

Citi Field has a 16-foot high black wall in leftfield.  I’m sure you’ve seen it by now.

We all know the Mets fascination with playing “Sweet Caroline” during the 7th inning, though recently it’s been replaced by “Meet the Mets.”  To avoid the Mets naming the black wall “The Black Monster” after “The Green Monster” in Fenway Park, I asked my Twitter followers for their own nickname for the outfield wall.

Here are their responses…

fullnelson said: I think WFAN Howie Rose called the (Citi Field) Outfield Wall's, "The Great Wall of Flushing" (i.e. The Great Wall of China)

fscker said: The Black Monster, or is that Gary Sheffield? "Black Snake Moan" Because that's what the fans do because nothing goes over it

Mike_Peters said: how about "we ordered the wrong color" wall... all the original mock-ups contained blue wallshttp://tinyurl.com/n59hmx

And from the peanut gallery…

trekmetfan said: The wall is not that big, there's no need to name it.

qujustin said of the Marlins: Hey, we have the Teal Monster...Boston has the Green Monster...Black Monster sounds fin to me...or the Pepsi Monster!

dmoneymania said: Can we call the left field pole Kiner's Korner?

I’m all for calling it “The Mo Vaughn.”  That is just too perfect.  I christen that wall The Mo Vaughn.
