SF's "McCovey Cove" to be renamed for boat rental company "Boatbound"? No, it was a disgusting hoax.
Sick fuckers.
Boatbound rents pleasure boats by the day, like an AirBNB for boats.
Read for yourself. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/10/24/san-francisco-boat-rental-firms-boatbound-publicity-stunt-hoax-on-renaming-mccovey-cove-dead-in-the-water-boatboundbay/

I'm skeptical.
They write that "it was for a good cause" with this link: https://boatbound.co/giveaway
Which is just a promotion for their own company, giving away boat use credits?
How humanitarian of them! 
For the record, we did this out of love for the Giants, Willie, and the cove and meant no disrespect

Um, no, screw you.
